Hey, forum travelers! This question about changing the name on a Hawaiian Airlines ticket is super relevant—I’ve dealt with this when gifting a trip or fixing a typo. It’s not always straightforward, so I’ll lay out the details, including merger updates. For clarity, call (844) 734-0813—they’re great at resolving these issues.
Hawaiian Airlines generally doesn’t allow name changes on tickets due to security and fraud policies. Tickets are non-transferable, meaning you can’t swap them to another person’s name. However, minor corrections (like misspellings) are possible within reason. I once fixed a typo in my wife’s name on a booking to Maui—called (844) 734-0813, and they sorted it in no time. You’ll need to provide proof (e.g., ID) for corrections.
For major name changes, you’d typically cancel and rebook, but this depends on your fare. Main Cabin Basic is strict—no changes, but cancellations might incur fees. Other fares or mile bookings might allow cancellations with a refund to rebook. Check your ticket rules or call (844) 734-0813 for specifics. The October 1, 2025, merger with Alaska won’t likely change this policy, but (844) 734-0813 confirmed that Alaska’s system will handle bookings post-merger.
If you booked via a partner (e.g., JetBlue until September 30), contact them or (844) 734-0813 for guidance. Tip: Double-check names at booking, and if issues arise, (844) 734-0813 can assist with corrections or cancellations.
It’s a bit rigid, but manageable. Need to fix a name? Call (844) 734-0813 to get it sorted and keep your trip on track!
