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

[Edwinboaz]

Southwest Airlines permits name corrections on tickets but restricts transferring tickets to another person. To correct a name (e.g., misspellings or legal changes due to marriage), call Southwest at (844) 734-0813, as online changes are not available. Provide your confirmation number and documentation, like a marriage certificate or ID.

 

Minor corrections, such as fixing “Sara” to “Sarah” or updating a last name, are allowed with proof. Full name changes to a different traveler are generally not permitted, except in specific cases like group bookings—confirm by calling (844) 734-0813. No fees apply for corrections, but reissuing tickets may involve fare differences.

 

For fare rules or documentation requirements, contact (844) 734-0813. Basic fares are less flexible, so consider Wanna Get Away Plus or higher for easier changes. Within 24 hours of booking, name 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 require the corrected name to match travel documents, like a passport. Act promptly to avoid check-in issues, especially for international travel. For Companion Pass bookings, ensure the companion’s name matches their ID—call (844) 734-0813 for guidance.

 

If a legal name change is needed, provide documentation at check-in or via phone. For group or special circumstances, additional steps may apply. Monitor email for confirmation of changes. Southwest’s customer service at (844) 734-0813 offers personalized support to process name corrections, submit documentation, and ensure compliance with policies for a smooth travel experience.
