<br>Can you transfer ☎+1-866-418-2099 a Delta ticket to someone else's name? Delta does not allow transfers, only minor name corrections or cancellations with rebooking.<br>Transferring a Delta Airlines ticket to someone else’s name is a question many travelers ask when unexpected changes arise. Unfortunately, Delta’s standard policy does not allow passengers to transfer an already-booked ticket into another person’s name. This rule applies to nearly all fare types, including Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Delta Comfort+, First Class, Premium Select, and Delta One. The name on the ticket must match the identity of the original passenger exactly, as airlines treat tickets as non-transferable documents for security, fraud prevention, and government regulatory reasons.<br>Although Delta does not permit name transfers, it does offer limited name corrections in specific situations. These corrections are allowed only when the ticket still belongs to the same person, and the request involves fixing an input error rather than changing the traveler. For example, minor spelling mistakes, inverted first and last names, missing middle names, or legal name updates due to marriage or divorce can often be corrected. In these cases, passengers may be asked to provide supporting documentation such as a passport, driver’s license, or marriage certificate. However, even here, Delta carefully verifies that the corrected name refers to the original traveler and not a different person attempting to take over the ticket.<br>Travelers sometimes misunderstand a name correction with a name transfer. A name correction simply edits inaccurate details, whereas a name transfer changes the ticket to a completely new passenger, which Delta does not permit. Therefore, if a traveler must give their seat to someone else, the ticket cannot simply be reassigned. The most realistic option in this scenario is to cancel the existing ticket (if the fare rules allow cancellation), receive an eCredit or refund when applicable, and then book a fresh ticket under the new passenger’s name.<br>For non-refundable tickets, Delta often issues travel credit (known as Delta eCredit) after cancellation minus any applicable fees depending on the fare type and ticket conditions. This credit can be reused by the original passenger to purchase another Delta flight, but it still cannot be gifted to another traveler. Refundable tickets, on the other hand, can be canceled for a full refund back to the original payment method, giving the traveler greater flexibility to make a new booking for someone else.<br>Delta also provides solutions for travelers booking via third-party agencies. In these cases, name corrections or rebooking requests must be handled directly through the original agency. While the agency may assist with cancelation or rebooking, they equally must follow Delta’s non-transferable ticket rule.<br>Because tickets cannot be transferred freely, travelers are encouraged to double-check passenger details before payment. Entering correct names at the time of booking ensures smoother check-in, prevents delays, and avoids unnecessary fees or customer support escalation. Delta’s flexibility policy is designed to support the same traveler when changes are needed, offering cancelation, date or destination amendments, seat upgrades, class changes, and credit re-use options—but always linked to the original passenger identity.<br><br& amp;amp;gt;
