How to Change Name on a Southwest Airlines Ticket? (844) 734-0813

[Edwinboaz]

Southwest Airlines allows name corrections on tickets but generally prohibits transferring tickets to another person. To correct a name (e.g., misspellings or legal changes), call Southwest at (844) 734-0813, as changes cannot be made online. Provide your confirmation number and documentation like a marriage certificate or ID.

 

Minor corrections, like fixing “Jon” to “John” or updating a last name due to marriage, are typically allowed with proof. For details on required documents, contact (844) 734-0813. Full name changes to a different traveler are not permitted, except in rare cases like group bookings—verify by calling (844) 734-0813.

 

There are no fees for name corrections, but fare differences may apply if the ticket needs reissuing. Basic fares are less flexible, so consider Wanna Get Away Plus or higher for easier changes. For fare rules, call (844) 734-0813. Within 24 hours of booking, changes are free for flights seven days out, per U.S. DOT rules.

 

For third-party bookings, contact the agency first, but Southwest can assist at (844) 734-0813. International tickets or Rapid Rewards bookings may require additional verification, like a passport matching the corrected name. Act promptly to avoid issues at check-in, especially for international travel.

 

If using a Companion Pass, ensure the companion’s name matches travel documents. For group or special circumstances, like legal name changes, Southwest may require additional steps—call (844) 734-0813 for guidance. Southwest’s customer service at (844) 734-0813 provides personalized support to process name corrections, submit documentation, and ensure compliance with policies for a smooth travel experience.
