Can you change a ticket to someone else?
Can you change a ticket to someone else? The majority of airline tickets are non-transferable, so, please keep that in mind when purchasing a flight. Non-transferable airline tickets are usually ineligible for transfer because the airline has a strict no-name change policy or the airline only allows name changes for spelling mistakes.
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
Most airlines do not authorize the transfer of plane tickets to another person under any condition. However, a few low-cost airlines do allow passengers to transfer their plane ticket to someone else. The policies regarding the transfer of such tickets vary greatly and so do the prices.
Why do airlines not allow name changes?
If airline tickets could be transferred from one passenger to another, it would create a secondary market for tickets that would undermine the airline industry's entire business model, which is to discount advance-purchase fares bought by tourists and raise the price of a tickets typically bought by business travelers.
