Delta Airlines does not allow you to change the full name on a ticket, meaning you cannot transfer the ticket to someone else[1]. However, they do permit minor name corrections, such as small adjustments to the first, middle, or last name, typically due to spelling mistakes or marriage[1].
To change your name on a Delta Airlines ticket, you can follow these steps:
- Visit the official website of Delta Airlines.
- Go to the “Manage My Travel” section.
- Enter your ticket details, including your ticket number and the last name of the passenger.
- Click on “Next.”
- Select the booking in which you wish to change the name.
- Click on the “Edit” option.
- You will be given three stages of changing your flight: change the itinerary details, change in flight details, and change the personal details. Skip directly to the third stage to change your name.
- Follow the given instructions to change the Delta Airlines ticket name.
- After making the changes, click on “Confirm” and check your registered email for the new ticket with the changed name[2].
Alternatively, you can change your name by calling Delta Airlines’ customer service team at 1-800-221-1212 and providing them with your booking reference ID and a copy of your government-issued photo ID or passport for validation[3].
Please note that there may be a name correction fee ranging from $75 to $500, depending on the type of ticket you have booked with the airline[4].
