So i made a huge mistake of booking through zuji travel agency online. What happened was when they asked for first name and last name I put in my first and last name, leaving the middle name out.

Because i saw that on the tab above my full name was already entered. Little did i know that the e- tix that they sent me didn't have my middle name.

So for privacy, just take my name as Apple fruit Orange.

So what i keyed in was Apple Orange.

zuji sent me an email directing me to their travelport website, which is a link to download the e-tix. On that it shows Orange Apple Miss.

I keyed in Apple Orange Miss but somehow it came up reveresed.

So i talk to their online customer service person. Asking her if i can add my middle name.

She told me to cancel and then book again with an admin fee of $70 to Zuji. After many arguments, I sent her a copy of my passport. She looked through and told me now there's a USD$50 charge for changing the sequence of the name on top of the $70 admin fee for correcting the name that she told me before.

And again after many arguments, asking her if im just changing one name why re there 2 charges.

She told me for name correction: USD $50 and zuji admin fee $70.

But in the beginning, when I asked her how much i would have to pay for 1) Changing name 2) Cancellation

1)she told me admin fee of $70 for correcting name.

2)Cancellation of flight is also $70.

But after she saw my passport name, suddenly there's an extra USD $50 payable to Singapore airlines for changing the name. Shady much?

And worst of all is, I contacted them less than an hour of booking my flight, and they still want me to pay full fees. Not to say their services are total crap.

In the end, I decided to cancel the flight with $70 charge and get back the flight money.

Just contact Singapore airline. They will add it in. Or when u Check in they will change on the spot. So long name matches.

Usually this kind of 3rd party the airline wont take responsibilty to help u change anything i think. My last experience with gotogate and finnair was really bad.

Booking straight with the airline will really be a wise choice

Just contact Singapore airline. They will add it in. Or when u Check in they will change on the spot. So long name matches.

Some time the promo code from zuji can save a few bucks when booking flights . Never use their cs before, the charges is ridiculous as you call them within an hour

Zuji for flights bookings are good .
normally would compare the price with cheaptickets.sg and expedia and direct airlines. If there is promo codes from OTA, would usually book from them.
No issue so far booking many times with all of them ...

For hotels, Zuji is a no-no if u intend to cancel a hotel bookings with free cancellations. They took about 5 months to refund my friends.
From April waited until Sep ...
Called them many times, emailed over 10 message, their standard reply would be refund have been made, please work for up to 15 working days. Called back few times, they said have not refund yet ...

No issue with zuji/airline when I didn't enter my given name during my recent trip.

Was still able to pass thru immigration when I only include Christian name / surname with I booked with zuji however when I book thru Cathay direct on another trip and included my full name I was rejected due to mismatch name and they have to override the system for me to access t4 automation gate..

I can't understand thus conclusion at all. First name last name is more than enough to fly, why need to cancel flight 🙄
