To change a name on a United Airlines ticket, sign in to “My Trips” on United’s website or app and open your reservation. United generally allows minor name corrections, such as fixing a spelling error or updating a legal name with proper documentation. Full name changes to switch the ticket to another person aren’t allowed. If you don’t see an option to edit the name online, contacting United customer service is usually the next step. It’s best to correct any name issues as soon as you notice them to avoid problems at check-in.
