Delta Airlines' policy does not allow transferring a ticket to another person. Call at +1-877-658-0930 (US) or +44-203-376-3406 (UK) However, the airline does permit name corrections for minor spelling mistakes and allows legal name changes with proper documentation.
Name corrections
For minor spelling errors, you can request a correction to your ticket.
Minor typos: You can typically correct up to three letters in a passenger's last name. These can often be processed for a lower fee or free if you are within the 24-hour risk-free cancellation period. Call at +1-877-658-0930 (US) or +44-203-376-3406 (UK)
Inverted names: If your first and last names were swapped on the ticket (e.g., SMITH/JANE instead of JANE/SMITH), Call at +1-877-658-0930 (US) or +44-203-376-3406 (UK) Delta allows this to be corrected.
Middle names: You can add or correct a middle name to match your government-issued ID.
How to correct a name
Within 24 hours of booking: The easiest option is to cancel your reservation for a full refund and rebook with the correct name, as long as you do so within 24 hours of purchase. Call at +1-877-658-0930 (US) or +44-203-376-3406 (UK)
