American Airlines does not allow you to transfer tickets to someone else by changing the name on the booking. Once a ticket is issued in your name, it is non-transferable. However, minor corrections such as spelling errors or changes in initials can be made, provided they don’t alter the identity of the ticket holder. The purpose of this rule is to ensure security and prevent fraud.
If you are unable to travel and have a non-refundable ticket, you might be able to cancel the flight and use the travel credit for a future trip, but the name on the credit cannot be changed.
