United Airlines Name Change Policy

While booking for any flight, we generally make mistakes while filling in the information. To avoid these mistakes, we need to re-check all the information before doing the final transaction. But even if we put some information incorrectly, we can correct our mistakes under United Airlines Name Change Policy.

What type of corrections are covered under United Airlines’ Name Change Policy?

• United Airlines’ Name Change Policy helps us in several ways to correct our mistakes.
• This Correction includes spelling corrections, inverted names, adding or removing surnames, or an entire name change.

How can we correct the names on the booked flight with United Airlines’ Name Change Policy?

The United Airlines Name Change Policy provides us with various ways to correct mistakes. Be sure to fix it at least 24 hours before your trip.

• Corrections cannot be made after check-in.

1. Name Corrections through the website:

• For the name change process through the website, a user needs to visit www.united.com and log in first.
• After you logged in, find ‘My Trips’ and pick the reservation for which you want changes.
• You can edit your misspellings up to 3 characters on the whole (First, Middle, or Last names). There isn’t any charge.
• But if you want to make corrections like inverted names, or add or remove your surname, add a middle name, or have a complete name change, there would be a charge. The charges depends on the kind of change you are making.
• Also, there are some documents necessary for these changes. Upload the documents it is asking for, pay the fees, and get your new confirmed ticket in your email provided to United.
• Make sure to review your email and ensure everything is correct.

2. By contacting United Airlines:

• Several times, we do not understand technology, and we want it to be simple and quick. You can get help under the United Airlines Name Change Policy.

Reach Us @+1-855-956-2158 (English) or +52-800-953-1667 (Spanish).

3. Name corrections at the Airport:

• If you want to go with the conventional method of changing your name, United Airlines’ Name Change Policy can also help you with that. You can visit the nearest Airport and find the United Airlines Counter. Talk to the representative there, explain your problem, and they will guide you with that within a few minutes. Do not forget to carry your government ID, like a Driver’s License or a Passport, or any valid government ID that you have.

Does United Airlines allow name transfer to another person?

No, United Airlines’ Name Change Policy does not allow name transfer at all.

If you want to transfer your ticket to another person’s name, you need to cancel that ticket and make an entirely new booking.

It also helps you maintain your privacy and keep you safe from identity theft.

What if my middle name was not entered on the ticket?

United Airlines’ Name Change Policy advises every traveller to book the ticket with the same name that appears on their government ID.

This will help you in the security checks and check-in process.

But if, in some cases, you forget to put your middle name, you can correct it within 24 hours, which will be free of cost. You can also have corrections before check-in at the Airport.

Does United Airlines charge for name corrections?

• Misspellings: No charges.
• Inverted Name Change: $75
