United Airlines allows passengers to change the name on their tickets. The name change option is available for both domestic and international flights. So, now you can just follow some simple steps and you can modify your details easily. Continuing on the topic, in this blog post, we present some important points that you should keep in mind while changing or modifying your details on a flight ticket. Take a look.


Points to Keep in Mind

Some of the important points to keep in mind for United Airlines Name change Policy are as follows:


  • If you are changing the spelling of your first or last name, prefix or title, inverted first and last names, going to or from a nickname, or including or excluding your middle name, you are able to change the name on your United Airlines ticket.

  • Legally modifying your name as a result of a court order, marriage, divorce, etc. As long as the passenger for whose name the ticket was issued is traveling and not someone else, this holds for all kinds of tickets.

  • Simple name changes (i.e., typo corrections and name changes) can be requested over the phone or in person at a ticket office, provided that you can provide valid identification.

  • Through the member's MileagePlus account profile, simple name changes can be made online without the need for supporting documentation. Simple name modifications include changing the first or last name's spelling, adopting or dropping a nickname, adding or removing a prefix or title, adding or removing an initial or middle name, and correcting first and last names that are reversed.

  • Important name changes—that is, all other name changes not already covered—can also be uploaded online via your MileagePlus account profile. Just make sure to attach the appropriate supporting document, such as your marriage license, divorce decree, court decree, or official identification document that shows both your current and previous names.

  • You must mail a printed, signed, and notarized copy of the Name Affidavit to the same address if you are unable to arrange any of these documents.

  • All tickets are non-transferable unless otherwise noted on the ticket at the time of issue.

  • You are in charge of making sure your name appears correctly on your ticket. Your ticket will be deemed invalid if you show someone else's, and UA will not accept or reimburse such tickets.

  • United Airlines shall not be responsible for any delays, loss, damage, or injury to personal property, death, or injury resulting from the unauthorized use of your ticket by another passenger, whether or not that other passenger is permitted to do so.

  • United Airlines Change Flight reserves the right to either permit or refuse your boarding if the name on your ID does not exactly match the name on your ticket.
