So, it is no wonder that knowing Alaska Airlines' name change policy will come in handy when things get messy. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you change your name on Alaska Airlines tickets.

KNOW ABOUT ALASKA AIRLINES' NAME CHANGE POLICY

Before writing out the actual steps, familiarize yourself with Alaska Airlines' name change policy:

Free Corrections within 24 Hours: In case of a mistake regarding your name, if reported within 24 hours after a booking, corrections can be made free of charge. In most correction requests, up to three letters are included.

Legal Name Changes If lawfully changed through marriage or divorce, you may need to present a copy of your marriage certificate or divorce decree. Alternatively, you can provide the court with valid government-issued documents that bear both former and current names.

Major change fees: It's $125 after 24 hours from the issuance of that ticket or for name changes such that the name is not recognizable. Except, of course, on transfer of tickets to other travelers, that $125 is going to be waived out by Gold members.
