American Airlines tickets are non-transferable, which means a ticket cannot be changed to another person’s name. However, the airline does allow limited name corrections when the passenger name does not exactly match the government-issued identification. These corrections are generally approved for small spelling mistakes, typing errors, missing letters or legal name changes due to marriage, divorce or court order. To confirm whether your correction meets the airline’s guidelines, calling 1 (833) 341-5261 is the most reliable way to get accurate information.
