| May 31, 2017 at 9:08 | comment | added | 2bigpigs | Overall, This seems worth explaining. Another question is, Is there some authority I could contact before hand to be 100% ? I don't mind booking a backup semi-flex ticket and cancelling that when i'm sure. | |
| May 31, 2017 at 9:06 | comment | added | 2bigpigs | This is good info. I was afraid of fiddling with the PDF because then I'd be doing something punishable and it would no longer be an honest mistake. But from all that I've read, they seem rather relaxed about it. As for customs people, Is it about the particular cross-border journey ( I'm going to Lausanne from Paris btw ), or just random checking? Because We'll have our Visas, Passports and numerous other bookings in order. @DumbCoder, Is your experience recent or from before this whole immigrant/terrorism phobia has set in? | |
| May 31, 2017 at 8:31 | comment | added | 8192K | In my opinion this would be acceptable since names are rarely if ever checked on European trains (95% of the tickets don't have names in the first place). And secondly, should they check your name, it will be the correct one. They will not check what the name was in their computer system, I even doubt the name would be in there somewhere. | |
| May 31, 2017 at 8:23 | comment | added | 8192K | Since it is a print-at-home ticket it will most likely be PDF, right? You can simply edit the PDF file in regular text editor, search for the wrong name and correct it. But please work on a copy of the original file. | |
| May 31, 2017 at 8:00 | comment | added | DumbCoder | On my journey's on TGV the conductor has only ever checked if my seat and class are correct and never corroborated my name mentioned in the ticket. But it wouldn't harm to call them up and ask what are your options. But it may become an issue if the customs people board the train who are looking for contrabands and you are selected for checking (happens after Cannes on the way to Nice). If you are coloured and alone, be sure to be checked else they might give you the miss. | |
