Made a spelling error or had a legal name change after booking your Frontier Airlines flight? Our comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about the airline’s name change policy, from simple typo corrections to more complex situations, ensuring you can board your flight without any hassle. Frontier Airlines permits minor name corrections but prohibits full ticket transfers to another person.
A name change on a Frontier Airlines ticket involves correcting or altering the passenger name to match government-issued ID. Frontier Airlines distinguishes between:
Fixing small errors like spelling mistakes (e.g., “Jhon” to “John”) or transposed names. These are generally permitted with documentation.
Adjustments due to marriage, divorce, or court orders require documentation and are allowed but may involve fees.
Transferring tickets to another person is strictly prohibited under Frontier Airlines’ policy.
Minor spelling corrections (e.g., up to a few characters), legal name changes with documentation, and corrections to match travel documents.
Not Allowed Changes: Transferring tickets to another person is explicitly prohibited. Reward tickets booked with miles are non-changeable.
Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license). For legal changes: marriage certificate, court order, or divorce decree.
Requests must be made before check-in or at least 2 hours before departure. Changes after check-in are not permitted.
Group bookings and tickets purchased via third parties must be handled through the original booking agent.
