Can You Change the Name on a Plane Ticket to someone Else American Airlines?

  Typically, American Airlines (and most airlines) does not allow you to change the name on a ticket to someone else. Airlines generally only allow corrections to names for minor errors, such as a misspelling, but these corrections must still reflect the original passenger.   If you need to transfer a ticket to another person, your best option would usually be to cancel the ticket and request a refund (if applicable) or credit, and then have the new person book a new ticket. Be aware that this process can involve cancellation fees or fare differences depending on the ticket’s rules.   If you're dealing with special circumstances (like a family emergency, or if you purchased a refundable ticket), you could contact American Airlines directly to explain your situation and inquire about possible exceptions. In some rare cases, they might make accommodations, but it's not a standard practice.
