Updates after marriage, divorce or legal name changes, when the same person is still traveling and the airline allows the correction.
Trying to transfer a ticket to a different person is usually prohibited or handled under rules separate from a name correction.
Check if your error is a minor typo (1-3 letters) or a legal name change. Gather your government-issued ID or passport.
Call the airline reservations department or visit their website. Many minor typos can be resolved online via Manage Booking.
