American Airlines Name Change

American Airlines allows passengers to make name changes on their tickets, but there are specific guidelines to follow. If there is a minor typo or misspelling in your name, American Airlines typically allows you to correct it without incurring a fee. These changes must be made before the flight departs, and the correction needs to match the name on your identification. However, if you need to make a more significant name change, such as due to a legal name change (e.g., marriage or divorce), American Airlines may require supporting documentation, such as a marriage certificate or court order. In such cases, you will need to contact customer service to process the change. It’s important to note that American Airlines tickets are generally non-transferable, meaning you cannot change the name on the ticket to someone else's. The change must apply to the original passenger.
