To change a passenger name on a United Airlines ticket, log in to “My Trips” on United’s website or app and open your reservation. United usually lets you make minor corrections like fixing spelling mistakes or updating a legal name, but it doesn’t allow transferring the ticket to a completely different person. If you don’t see a name edit option online, or if the correction is more than a small fix, contact United’s customer service — they can tell you what’s allowed and what documentation might be needed. It’s best to handle name corrections early before travel.
