American Airlines does not permit changing a ticket from one person to another person.

Call at +1-888-415-1245 (US) or +44-203-869-5245 (UK) The specific process depends on the type of correction needed. 

Ticket transfers are not allowed

American Airlines considers a "name change" to be a transfer of a ticket from one passenger to another, and this is strictly prohibited. 

Name corrections

The policy for correcting a name to match the traveler's ID depends on your flight's itinerary. 

Minor corrections

Minor corrections, such as fixing a typo or adding/removing a middle initial, apply to itineraries that are entirely operated by American Airlines and American Eagle. 

What you can change: Typos, inverted names (like Allen/Thomas to Thomas/Allen), or adding/removing a middle name.
Requirements: The date of birth and gender must not change from the original booking.
Process: The corrections can often be made within the same reservation (PNR) and may not incur an additional fee. Call at +1-888-415-1245 (US) or +44-203-869-5245 (UK) You can use the online chat feature on the American Airlines website or call customer service to request the change.
