American Airlines generally does not allow you to change the passenger name on a ticket once it’s booked. However, they may permit name corrections for minor errors, such as a misspelling or missing middle name, often without charge. For full name changes, such as a change in the first or last name, the airline typically does not allow it, unless there’s a legal reason, like marriage or divorce. In such cases, documentation may be required. If you need to transfer your ticket to another person, American Airlines doesn't permit this, and you would likely need to cancel and rebook.
