Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my name for free on a flight ticket?
Yes, minor spelling corrections (usually up to 3 characters) are free on most airlines if the passenger remains the same. The US Department of Transportation also requires free corrections within 24 hours of booking for tickets purchased at least 7 days before departure.
What happens if the name on my ticket doesn't match my ID?
TSA and international customs require the name on your boarding pass to match your passport or government-issued photo ID exactly. If there is a mismatch, you may be denied boarding at the airport security checkpoint.
Can I transfer my airline ticket to another person?
No, airline tickets are non-transferable. You cannot change the name to a different person. If you cannot travel, you must cancel the ticket (subject to cancellation rules) and book a new ticket for the new passenger.
