American Airlines generally does not allow name changes on tickets. However, there are a few exceptions and options available depending on the circumstances:
Minor Name Corrections: American Airlines allows minor name corrections (such as fixing typos or switching first and last names). These can be made through customer service, but they must be a small change and cannot involve a complete name change.
Ticket Transfer: If you need to change the name completely (for example, if you need to transfer the ticket to someone else), American Airlines does not allow ticket transfers. In most cases, the ticket is non-transferable, and you would need to cancel the current ticket and purchase a new one for the other person.
