Can You Change the Name on a Priceline Ticket?

Priceline does not control airline ticket rules but follows each airline’s flight change and name change policy. Generally:

Minor name corrections (typos, spelling mistakes) – Allowed with most airlines.
Legal name changes (due to marriage, divorce, etc.) – Allowed with documentation.
Full name changes or ticket transfers – Not allowed by most airlines.

Tip: If you made a spelling mistake, act quickly! Some airlines offer free name corrections within 24 hours of booking.

Priceline’s Name Change Policy

1. Minor Name Corrections (Spelling Fixes)

Most airlines allow minor adjustments (1–3 letters) if there’s a typo in the first or last name. Some airlines may charge a small correction fee, while others process it for free.

Examples of allowed corrections:

• “Jonh” → “John”
• “Smiht” → “Smith”
• Adding a missing middle name (if required for travel)

2. Legal Name Changes

If you’ve legally changed your name due to marriage, divorce, or another legal reason, some airlines allow updates with supporting documents (marriage certificate, court order, etc.).

Examples:

• “Jane Doe” → “Jane Smith” (after marriage)
• “David Brown” → “David Green” (after a legal name change)

Important: Name changes must be requested directly through Priceline or the airline at least 24–72 hours before departure.

3. Full Name Changes & Ticket Transfers

Priceline and airlines do not allow ticket transfers to a different passenger. If you need to transfer a ticket, your only option is to cancel and rebook (which may come with cancellation fees).
