American Airlines does not allow name changes on tickets in most circumstances. The airline has a strict policy regarding name changes due to security, regulatory, and fraud prevention reasons. However, there are a few exceptions for minor corrections. Here's a breakdown: 1. Minor Name Corrections (Allowed) American Airlines does allow for minor name corrections if there is a small error, such as: Typographical errors (e.g., misspelling of your first or last name). Name order correction (e.g., switching your first and last name, if they were entered incorrectly). Adding or removing middle names (e.g., adjusting your middle name or initial). These corrections must be minor and still correspond to the same passenger. If you need to make such changes, you'll need to contact American Airlines customer service. In many cases, the airline will ask for supporting documentation (like an ID or passport) to verify the correct name.
