Can you change your passenger name on American Airlines?

American Airlines generally does not allow changes to the name on a ticket. However, they do allow certain name corrections under specific circumstances. Here are the details:

1. Minor Corrections:

• If there's a minor misspelling or a small error in the name (e.g., a missing letter or incorrect order), you can request a correction.


• You can typically make these changes by calling American Airlines or through their website.

2. Major Changes:

• Full name changes (e.g., changing the entire name or adding/removing names) are not allowed on most tickets.


• If you need to transfer a ticket to someone else, you will likely need to cancel the ticket and purchase a new one, as name transfers are not permitted on non-refundable tickets.
