Understanding Name Changes
Frontier typically supports minor spelling corrections when it’s clearly the same traveler. Legal name changes may be processed with valid documentation. Tickets cannot be transferred to another person.
Fees and processing depend on fare rules and where the ticket was issued. If your ticket was issued by a travel agency/OTA, they must process the correction.
