Understanding Name Changes
Hawaiian Airlines generally supports minor spelling corrections that clearly reference the same traveler. Legal name changes can be considered with valid documentation. Tickets cannot be transferred to a different person.
Fees and options vary by fare rules, country of purchase, and who issued the ticket. If a travel agency or online platform issued your ticket, they must process the change.
Pro Tips for Name Changes
Match your passport name exactly, including diacritics and hyphens.
Check for typos within 24 hours of purchase to address issues early.
If issued by an agency/OTA, contact them first—they control the ticket.
Complete corrections before online check‑in; airport changes aren’t guaranteed.
