If you need to change the name on your American Airlines ticket, the process depends on the type of correction. For minor changes, such as correcting a typo or small spelling error, American Airlines makes it easy to update your name through the “Manage My Booking” feature on their website. These minor corrections are usually free of charge and can be made without any major hurdles.
If the name change involves a legal reason, such as marriage, divorce, or a court-ordered name change, you will need to provide legal documentation to support the correction. In such cases, contact American Airlines directly to process the change, and note that a fee may apply depending on the specifics of the correction.
