Made a spelling error or had a legal name change after booking your Hawaiian 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. Hawaiian Airlines permits minor name corrections and legal name changes but prohibits full ticket transfers to another person.
A name change on a Hawaiian Airlines ticket involves correcting or altering the passenger name to match government-issued ID. Hawaiian Airlines distinguishes between:
Fixing small errors like spelling mistakes (e.g., “Jhon” to “John”) or adding middle names. These are generally permitted with minimal 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 Hawaiian Airlines’ policy.
Minor spelling corrections, legal name changes with documentation, and corrections to match travel documents.
Transferring tickets to another person is explicitly prohibited.
Government-issued photo ID. For legal changes: marriage certificate, court order, divorce decree, or legal name change documents.
Requests must be made before checkin or at least 2 hours before departure. Changes after check-in are not permitted.
Tickets not starting with 173 (Hawaiian Airlines ticket number) must be handled by the original booking agent.
