The airline understands such situations and helps passengers with its comprehensive and passenger-friendly name-change policy. The Alaska Airlines name change policy permits you to make changes or modifications to the incorrect name as per your travel document or government-approved ID. Read the information below to know all the aspects of the name change policy.  

Guidelines For Alaska Airlines Change Name On Ticket

The airline lets passengers modify their name to match the name on the ticket with their passport or government-authorized ID. 

• Minor name corrections are permitted (for free) to rectify general mistakes like incorrect letters in the first/middle/surname, reversal of first and surname, and accidental addition of last name in the place of middle name. Remember the misspellings or typos must not exceed three characters. 
• Legal name changes due to divorce or marriage are also allowed as long as you can submit a divorce agreement, marriage paper, or court decree to justify the change. 
• Name alterations are free within the 24-hour risk-free period, i.e., within 24 hours of purchase. Beyond that, a name change will apply. 
• The airline restricts travelers from changing the complete name on their ticket, which results in a change of ticket ownership. However, if you need to transfer your flight ticket to someone else, you must first cancel it and rebook a new one with a new name. Under the Alaska 24 hour cancellation policy, you can cancel your ticket for free. 
• You can place a name correction/change request online using the website and offline via phone. 

Does Alaska Airlines Charge A Name Change Fee? 

Passengers can request a name correction (up to three letters) within the 24-hour risk-free window for free. However, for critical name modification or name change, you might need to pay a name change cost of approximately $125 for each name. The fee varies based on the ticket you have booked, request type, time, and destination.
