Allegiant Air has established a name change policy that outlines how passengers can correct or update the name on a reservation. The airline prioritizes security and regulatory compliance, and therefore requires that the name on a flight ticket exactly match the passenger’s government-issued identification.
Allegiant Air allows for limited name corrections to fix minor spelling errors or typographical mistakes. These changes can include adjusting one or two letters, correcting the order of first and last names, or adding or removing a middle name or initial, as long as the changes do not result in a new individual being listed on the ticket. All corrections must reflect the name as it appears on official identification such as a passport or driver’s license.
Complete name changes that would transfer the ticket to a different person are generally not allowed. Allegiant Air tickets are non-transferable, and if a different traveler needs to fly, a new reservation must be made in that person’s name. The original ticket may be subject to cancellation policies and any applicable penalties or fare differences.
To request a name correction, passengers must contact Allegiant Air’s customer service. Name corrections cannot be processed online and must be handled by a reservations agent. It is recommended that passengers make these requests as early as possible to avoid delays or disruptions during check-in or boarding. Allegiant may take time to verify the request and make the necessary updates to the reservation.
Allegiant may require supporting documentation to verify the correction. This can include a copy of the traveler’s government-issued ID or other documents that confirm the correct spelling and format of the passenger’s legal name. For legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or court-ordered modifications, appropriate legal documents must be provided to process the change.
Fees may apply for processing name corrections. These fees can vary depending on the timing of the request, the fare type, and the extent of the correction needed. Passengers should be aware that making changes close to the travel date may result in higher charges or limited availability for correction.
If a reservation includes hotel, rental car, or bundled services, name corrections on the air portion of the booking may not automatically apply to the other components. Passengers must confirm that all parts of a vacation package reflect the corrected name and may need to contact each service provider to make updates accordingly.
Allegiant encourages all passengers to carefully review the details of their booking immediately after purchase. Ensuring that names are entered correctly at the time of booking is the best way to avoid the need for corrections and the potential fees and complications that may result from them.
The name change policy is subject to change at the discretion of Allegiant Air. For the most current information and to receive personalized assistance, passengers should consult the official Allegiant Air website or speak directly with a customer service representative who can provide guidance on the name correction process.
