American Airlines ticket name change

For an American Airlines ticket, name changes are limited. American usually allows minor corrections, like fixing a typo or updating a legal name after marriage, as long as it’s the same traveler. You can check this in “Manage Trips” on their website or app. Full name changes to transfer the ticket to another person aren’t allowed. If the system won’t let you edit the name online, contacting American Airlines customer service is the best option. It’s a good idea to fix any name issues as soon as you notice them to avoid trouble at the airport.
 
If you need to fix a name on an American Airlines ticket, you can usually correct minor mistakes like spelling errors or updating a legal name, as long as it’s the same person traveling. You can try this in “Manage Trips” on the American Airlines website or app. American doesn’t allow you to transfer a ticket to someone else with a completely different name once it’s booked. If the online system doesn’t let you make the correction or you’re unsure what’s allowed, you can call 844-734-0813 for help.
