Don't panic when realizing the spelling error on your boarding pass because American Airlines Name Change Policy allows you to correct small typos or misspellings. Don’t misunderstand the policy regarding changing your full name and transferring your ticket to another person; this practice is prohibited. As a passenger, you are eligible to request corrections for minor spelling errors until the ticket is unused, at any time before the flight's departure. You can change the name for free within 24 hours of booking.
