Yes, United Airlines allows you to correct a name on your ticket after booking, but only for minor errors. If you’ve noticed a typo in your name, you can request a correction by contacting United’s customer service or through the “My Trips” section on their website. These corrections are generally quick and simple if they involve misspellings or adding/removing a middle name.
For legal name changes, such as marriage or divorce, you will likely need to provide documentation proving the change. Keep in mind that name corrections are not allowed if you’re trying to transfer the ticket to another person. It’s crucial to make sure the name on your ticket matches your ID exactly, as discrepancies can cause issues during check-in or boarding.
