Changing the passenger name on an airline ticket with American Airlines is generally not allowed. According to their policy, tickets are non-transferable, meaning the name cannot be changed to another person’s. However, American Airlines may offer limited options in certain circumstances, such as correcting a misspelled name or modifying a ticket if there's an error. To make changes, passengers can contact customer service directly. It's important to review the specific ticket rules and any potential fees for changes or cancellations. Always double-check details before purchasing to avoid issues with name changes later.
