Important note — name changes on airline tickets (Lufthansa example)

To change the name on a Lufthansa flight ticket, the best way to start is by contacting Lufthansa Airlines Customer Service directly at +1 (888) 240-21-71.

Changing a passenger’s name on a Lufthansa reservation is usually restricted, but minor corrections (spelling mistakes or adding a middle name) are often allowed without canceling your ticket. When you call +1 (888) 240-21-71, you can talk to a live agent who will check your booking and guide you through the name correction process.

If your name change is due to marriage or legal reasons, you may need to provide documentation. In some cases, Lufthansa may require canceling the existing reservation and rebooking under the correct name — especially for non-refundable tickets or third-party bookings. Act quickly: mismatches between ticket name and ID can lead to denied boarding or delays.

Lufthansa can advise if your ticket is eligible for a name switch without penalties or if fees will apply. Once corrected, Lufthansa will update your boarding pass and send the updated ticket via email, or you can reprint your boarding pass. Confirm with customer service that the name change has been processed to avoid issues on travel day.
