📘 What Does American Airlines Allow?
American understands that not every error is a dealbreaker—but they do have rules.
✅ Fixable Issues:
-
Minor typos (1–3 letters off)
-
Title mistakes (Mr./Ms./Dr.)
-
Legal name changes (marriage, divorce, court orders—with proof)
🚫 Not Fixable:
-
Changing the ticket to another person
-
Full name swaps without legal documentation
So if you booked for “Jonh Smith” instead of “John Smith,” you’re probably okay. But changing “John Smith” to “Alex Carter”? Not allowed. ☎️+1-646-906-8860
