I mistakenly missed 1 letter of my name on my tickets. And I visited Saudi airline office at least 4 days before travel, the guy there guide me that there will be no problem for me as you have missed only 1 letter of your name else your everything is correct passport number etc …. But before flying they didn’t allow me to check in on this ticket and their behavior was so rude. Worst experience. Any how at the end I purchased new tickets. I recommend you all to please re consider Saudi airline before traveling as their after services and behavior is so poor.
