If you need to change the passenger name on an American Airlines ticket that was purchased
with cash (not points), here’s what you can do:
### 1. **Minor Name Corrections:**
- **Typo or Error:** If the name change is a minor correction, like fixing a typo,
adding/removing a middle name, or correcting the order of first and last names, American
Airlines may allow it without any major issues. You should contact their customer service as
soon as possible to request the correction.
### 2. **Significant Name Changes:**
- **Different Person:** If you need to change the name to a completely different person,
American Airlines generally does not allow this. The ticket is non-transferable, so you would
need to cancel the original ticket and purchase a new one in the correct name. The cancellation
might involve a fee, depending on the fare rules.
### 3. **Marriage or Legal Name Change:**
- **Documented Legal Change:** If the name change is due to marriage, divorce, or another
legal reason, American Airlines may accommodate this change if you provide legal
documentation (like a marriage certificate or court order). Contact customer service to discuss
your specific situation.
### 4. **Cancellation and Rebooking:**
- **Cancel and Rebook:** If a name change isn't allowed, the best option might be to cancel
the ticket and rebook under the correct name. You might incur cancellation fees, depending on
the fare type, but some fares allow for a refund or credit toward future travel.
### 5. **Contact American Airlines Customer Service:**
- **Immediate Action:** Always contact American Airlines customer service directly. Policies
and procedures can vary, and a representative might be able to assist you with your specific
situation.
### **Contact Information:**
- **Phone Number:** You can reach American Airlines customer service by calling their general
help number or the AAdvantage service desk.
- **Online:** You can also request changes through the American Airlines website by logging
into your account and managing your booking.
Handling name corrections as soon as possible is crucial to avoid complications during travel.
