Name change in a flight ticket is subject to the policies of the airline. Minor corrections (e.g., spelling mistakes) are usually offered free or with a nominal cost by most airlines. Major modifications, such as transferring the ticket to someone else, are never allowed by most airlines. The customer support team of the airline should be approached, along with the required documents (such as proof of identification), and paying the fees charged. Requests done early are likely to succeed. Check airline rules before booking in any case.
