Alaska Airlines does not allow full name changes that transfer a ticket to another person. However, they do allow minor name corrections for the same passenger—such as fixing a typo or updating a last name due to marriage or divorce. Rules depend on your fare type, and supporting documents may be required. For help, you can contact customer support at 1-833-534-2451.
Policy Details
Minor Corrections Allowed
Alaska Airlines permits small corrections to your own name (e.g., spelling errors, missing letters).
Major Legal Name Changes
If your name changed due to marriage, divorce, or a court order, you may be asked to submit documents such as:
Marriage certificate
Divorce decree
Court-issued name change document
Updated passport or ID
No Transfer to Another Person
You cannot change the ticket holder’s name to someone else. Alaska requires cancellation and rebooking with the correct name.
Fees
Depending on the fare rules, there may be fees for corrections. Saver fares are highly restrictive and may not allow changes at all.
How to Proceed
Review your ticket type.
Contact Alaska Airlines or call 1-833-534-2451.
