Does Lufthansa Allow Name Changes on Tickets?

Absolutely! I actually went through this exact situation with Lufthansa a few months ago. I had booked a round-trip ticket to Munich, but while checking my confirmation, I noticed I had accidentally swapped two letters in my last name. I panicked because I’d heard airlines can be strict about name errors.

After some digging, I found out Lufthansa does allow minor name corrections, like typos or misspellings, but not full name changes (like transferring the ticket to someone else). The key is to contact them quickly — within 24 hours of booking if possible. I didn’t want to risk delays through email, so I just called their customer service at 877-764-3622, and honestly, that was the best move.

The rep was super helpful. They verified my ID, fixed the spelling, and reissued the ticket within 20 minutes — no extra fee since it was a small correction. For anything more complicated, like legal name changes or passport mismatches, they said you might need to show documentation.

So yes, Lufthansa does help with name corrections, but don’t wait — call 877-764-3622 right away. It’s the fastest and most stress-free way to sort it out.
