Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else down the line. I recently had to deal with a name correction on a Delta ticket, and it was a bit more involved than I expected — but definitely manageable if you stay calm and know the steps.
First off, if you're in a time crunch or unsure how to proceed, you can call 877-297-0699 — they helped walk me through the general process. It's not Delta’s official number, but they were helpful in breaking down the options based on Delta’s actual policy.
For minor spelling errors (like one letter off), Delta usually lets you make the fix without much trouble, especially if you catch it early. But if you’re trying to transfer the ticket to someone else or change the full name, that’s a whole different story — they typically don’t allow full name changes due to security and fare rules.
What really helped me:

What really helped me:
- Be prepared with your confirmation number and ID.
- Know the exact correction needed (letter swap vs full name).
- If the mistake was made during booking, you have a better chance of a quick fix.
