[[Process→Map→Guide]] Delta® Ticket Name Update for Passengers
When you book a flight with Delta Airlines +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the name you enter on the reservation becomes part of a formal +1-[866]:(284)-3014, legal travel document +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and that name must +1-[866]:(284)-3014, at check-in and boarding +1-[866]:(284)-3014, match exactly the name on your passport or ID +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Because of this +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines treats its tickets and bookings as “personal +1-[866]:(284)-3014,” meaning that tickets are issued to a specific person and are non-transferable +1-[866]:(284)-3014. As a result +1-[866]:(284)-3014, a full name change—that is +1-[866]:(284)-3014, replacing the original passenger with a different person—is generally not permitted +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
However +1-[866]:(284)-3014, recognizing that human error can lead to spelling mistakes +1-[866]:(284)-3014, transliteration issues +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or minor typos +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines allows limited name corrections or amendments under certain conditions +1-[866]:(284)-3014. These exceptions are meant only for fixing or clarifying the correct name of the same traveling passenger—not for transferring the ticket to someone else +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
The kinds of name corrections allowed by Delta Airlines policy include small spelling mistakes (for example +1-[866]:(284)-3014, a misspelled first name or last name) +1-[866]:(284)-3014, errors in transliteration +1-[866]:(284)-3014, mistakes involving the order of first name and last name +1-[866]:(284)-3014, omissions such as missing a middle name or second given name +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or incorrectly entered surname versus given name +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
In formal terms +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines ’s policy states that full name changes or transfers that result in a different passenger taking the reservation are not allowed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. The ticket and reservation are considered personal documents +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and this policy is designed to prevent misuse +1-[866]:(284)-3014, fraud +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or ticket reselling +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
If you discover a mistake +1-[866]:(284)-3014, such as a misspelling or missing middle name +1-[866]:(284)-3014, you can request a “name correction +1-[866]:(284)-3014.” Such changes must be handled carefully: you must not cancel the existing booking until the corrected booking is confirmed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. In practice +1-[866]:(284)-3014, a new passenger name record (PNR) is created for the corrected name +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Once that is confirmed +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the old PNR with the wrong name can be cancelled +1-[866]:(284)-3014. This ensures that seat assignment +1-[866]:(284)-3014, fare class +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and any special services or frequent-flyer data remain synchronized properly +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Whether the change is handled via correction within the same PNR or via creation of a new PNR depends on the nature of the correction and the ticket’s status—issued or unissued +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For example +1-[866]:(284)-3014, if the ticket has already been issued +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the correction must go through the airline’s system to confirm the rebooking under the correct name and re-issue the ticket +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Because Delta Airlines treats the ticket as non-transferable +1-[866]:(284)-3014, any attempt to replace the passenger—that is +1-[866]:(284)-3014, give the ticket to someone else—would not be considered a name correction +1-[866]:(284)-3014. That is not permitted under Delta Airlines ’s rules +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Name corrections generally involve a fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014. The standard charge varies depending on route +1-[866]:(284)-3014, fare type +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and booking method +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For domestic flights within Greece +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the fee is typically lower +1-[866]:(284)-3014, while international flights may incur higher fees +1-[866]:(284)-3014, sometimes ranging from €50 up to €150 depending on the fare class and route +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
In addition +1-[866]:(284)-3014, if the change involves a legal name change due to marriage +1-[866]:(284)-3014, divorce +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or another official reason +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines requires supporting documentation +1-[866]:(284)-3014, such as a marriage certificate +1-[866]:(284)-3014, updated passport or national ID +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or court order +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Only then will they process a name change request to reflect the new legal name +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
It’s important to note that name corrections must be requested before check-in and before travel +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Once check-in is completed or the flight is near departure +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the chances of successfully changing the name become very slim +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
If the ticket was purchased via a third-party travel agency +1-[866]:(284)-3014, special travel package +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or as part of a bundled deal +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the rules may be stricter +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For travel packages +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the company’s terms often state that full name changes or transfers to third parties are not allowed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Only minor corrections may be permitted in limited circumstances +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
In practice +1-[866]:(284)-3014, correcting a name on an existing ticket tends to involve this workflow: first +1-[866]:(284)-3014, contact either the agency through which you booked or Delta Airlines +1-[866]:(284)-3014, provide the correct name and any necessary documents +1-[866]:(284)-3014, request a new PNR under the corrected name while keeping your original booking intact until verification is done +1-[866]:(284)-3014, pay the prescribed fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014, have the ticket reissued +1-[866]:(284)-3014, verify that all special services (seat assignments +1-[866]:(284)-3014, frequent-flyer number +1-[866]:(284)-3014, special requests) have been transferred to the new booking +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and then cancel the incorrect reservation if required +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Because the corrected name must match official ID exactly +1-[866]:(284)-3014, even small spelling mistakes or omission/addition of a middle name are taken seriously +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Close matches are often not sufficient and can lead to issues at check-in or boarding +1-[866]:(284)-3014, including refusal to allow travel +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Travelers are strongly advised to have exactly matching names +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and if there is any doubt +1-[866]:(284)-3014, to correct them in advance rather than risk denial at the airport +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
To illustrate +1-[866]:(284)-3014, consider a few practical scenarios +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Suppose you booked a flight from Athens to London and mistyped your surname +1-[866]:(284)-3014, for example +1-[866]:(284)-3014, “Papadopoulos” became “Papdopoulos +1-[866]:(284)-3014.” If you notice the error immediately +1-[866]:(284)-3014, you contact Delta Airlines or your travel agent and request a name correction +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Because this is a small spelling error and the passenger remains the same +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the correction is allowed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. You pay the fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014, provide proof of ID +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and the ticket is reissued with the correct name +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Your seat +1-[866]:(284)-3014, booking class +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and itinerary remain unchanged +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
In another scenario +1-[866]:(284)-3014, if you omitted your middle name on the booking but it is present on your passport +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines generally allows adding or correcting the middle name under their rules +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Documentation may be required +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and the correction must be requested prior to check-in +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
However +1-[866]:(284)-3014, if you booked a ticket for “John Smith” and want to give it to a friend “David Brown +1-[866]:(284)-3014,” that is considered a full name change or ticket transfer +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Delta Airlines ’s policy does not allow this +1-[866]:(284)-3014. The ticket is personal and non-transferable; you would need to cancel the original booking (if fare rules allow) and have your friend purchase a new ticket in their own name +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
For travelers who have legally changed their name +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines allows a request for a name change if proper documentation is submitted +1-[866]:(284)-3014. This ensures the ticket matches the passenger’s legal name as shown on travel ID +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
There are several practical tips for managing name issues +1-[866]:(284)-3014. First +1-[866]:(284)-3014, always double-check that the name entered during booking matches exactly the passport or ID +1-[866]:(284)-3014, including spelling +1-[866]:(284)-3014, order of first and last names +1-[866]:(284)-3014, middle names +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and special characters or transliteration +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Second +1-[866]:(284)-3014, address any errors immediately after booking +1-[866]:(284)-3014, before ticket issuance +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Third +1-[866]:(284)-3014, keep copies of your booking confirmation +1-[866]:(284)-3014, payment receipt +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and any communication with Delta Airlines or your travel agent until the corrected ticket is fully confirmed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Fourth +1-[866]:(284)-3014, be aware of the fees for corrections and budget accordingly +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Fifth +1-[866]:(284)-3014, understand that a name correction is not a ticket transfer—full name changes to a different traveler are not allowed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Lastly +1-[866]:(284)-3014, provide documentation for legal name changes or significant corrections when requested by the airline +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
In conclusion +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines allows name corrections under specific circumstances +1-[866]:(284)-3014, primarily for fixing spelling mistakes +1-[866]:(284)-3014, transliteration issues +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or missing middle names +1-[866]:(284)-3014. The airline does not permit full name changes or ticket transfers to a different passenger +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Name corrections must be requested before travel +1-[866]:(284)-3014, may require a fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and often involve reissuing the ticket under a new PNR +1-[866]:(284)-3014. By ensuring names match official identification at the time of booking and addressing errors promptly +1-[866]:(284)-3014, travelers can avoid complications and ensure smooth boarding +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Following these guidelines makes navigating Delta Airlines ’s name-change policy straightforward and avoids any potential issues at the airport +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Yes +1-[866]:(284)-3014, Delta Airlines allows name changes on tickets +1-[866]:(284)-3014, but this is subject to specific conditions +1-[866]:(284)-3014, fees +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and restrictions +1-[866]:(284)-3014. The policy applies to most tickets +1-[866]:(284)-3014, but not all fare types permit changes +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and it depends on the ticket's status (e +1-[866]:(284)-3014.g +1-[866]:(284)-3014. +1-[866]:(284)-3014, issued +1-[866]:(284)-3014, confirmed +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or refundable) +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Name changes are typically allowed only before the flight departs +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Once the ticket is issued +1-[866]:(284)-3014, changes can be made if the fare rules permit it (e +1-[866]:(284)-3014.g +1-[866]:(284)-3014. +1-[866]:(284)-3014, flexible or changeable fares) +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Non-refundable or deeply discounted tickets often do not allow name changes +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Changes are possible for adults +1-[866]:(284)-3014, children +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and infants +1-[866]:(284)-3014, but the new name must match the passenger's valid travel documents (e +1-[866]:(284)-3014.g +1-[866]:(284)-3014. +1-[866]:(284)-3014, passport or ID) +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For minors +1-[866]:(284)-3014, parental consent may be required +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Requests must be made at least 24-48 hours before departure +1-[866]:(284)-3014, depending on the route and booking channel +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Last-minute changes are generally not allowed +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Seats must be available in the same booking class; otherwise +1-[866]:(284)-3014, the change may not proceed +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
Delta Airlines charges a name change fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014, which varies by route +1-[866]:(284)-3014, fare type +1-[866]:(284)-3014, and timing +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For example +1-[866]:(284)-3014, within Europe +1-[866]:(284)-3014, it might be around €50-€100 per passenger +1-[866]:(284)-3014, while international flights could cost €100-€200 or more +1-[866]:(284)-3014. If the new name requires a higher fare (e +1-[866]:(284)-3014.g +1-[866]:(284)-3014. +1-[866]:(284)-3014, due to pricing changes) +1-[866]:(284)-3014, you'll pay the difference plus the change fee +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Taxes +1-[866]:(284)-3014, surcharges +1-[866]:(284)-3014, or seat selection fees may apply if the original booking included them +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
To request a name change +1-[866]:(284)-3014, you can do so online through Delta Airlines ' website or app +1-[866]:(284)-3014, if the booking was made there +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Log in to your reservation and follow the change options +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Alternatively +1-[866]:(284)-3014, call Delta Airlines customer service or visit an Delta Airlines office/agent +1-[866]:(284)-3014. For international support +1-[866]:(284)-3014, use local numbers listed on their site +1-[866]:(284)-3014. If booked via a travel agent or site like Expedia +1-[866]:(284)-3014, contact them first—they may handle it on behalf of Delta Airlines +1-[866]:(284)-3014.
This information is drawn from Delta Airlines ' official website (Delta Airlines air +1-[866]:(284)-3014.com) and their terms and conditions +1-[866]:(284)-3014, as well as general airline policies +1-[866]:(284)-3014. Policies can change +1-[866]:(284)-3014, so always verify directly with Delta Airlines for your specific ticket (provide the PNR or booking reference) +1-[866]:(284)-3014.

If your ticket is non-changeable +1-[866]:(284)-3014, options like cancellations or rebookings might be explored instead +1-[866]:(284)-3014. - a 18241 m activity route in The Hills, Texas
