JetBlue Airways Name Correction vs Name Transfer

Fixing a typo (e.g. "Jhon" → "John")
Adding or correcting a middle name
Legal name change after marriage or divorce
Court-ordered name update
Reversing first and last name if entered in wrong order
Name Transfer
A name transfer means changing the ticket to another person’s name. JetBlue Airways does not allow passengers to transfer tickets to someone else.
What is not permitted:
Giving your ticket to a friend or family member
Changing the passenger to an entirely different person
Selling your ticket to someone else
Transferring a reward or miles ticket to another traveler
Any change that makes a different individual the passenger
JetBlue Airways Name Correction vs Name Transfer
The name on your flight ticket must match the name on your passport or government-issued ID. If the names do not match, the airline may not allow you to board the flight.
Even a small spelling mistake can cause problems at the airport. That's why you should check your booking details as soon as you receive your ticket.

Name Correction Guidelines
A major name correction is needed for some American Airlines bookings where the name cannot be updated on the existing ticket.
What is a name correction?
A name correction fixes a spelling mistake or minor error in your name on your ticket — it does not allow you to change the ticket to a different person. Swapping names to another traveler is considered a "name change" and follows a separate policy (with applicable fees).
Here's what you need to know:
Name Change Policy
If a name change doesn't meet those correction guidelines, it's treated as a name change instead. Once a ticket has been issued, the name on that reservation cannot be changed directly.
Instead, JetBlue allows the ticket to be used by a different traveler, as long as:
- A new reservation is booked
- Any increase in fare is paid
- The applicable change fee is charged at the time of the exchange
