travelislife- nobody said free name change even though it should be free as long as it is the same person. Are you referring to Quantas that denies check-in? I have done a little research. There is nothing in Aviation Law governed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that says that a name change is illegal per Aviation’s Bylaws. Every major US carrier allows passengers to change the name on a ticket to match their new legal name if it is due to marriage. Those airlines include but not limited to the largest airline in the world, American Airlines Group, the second largest airlines in the world, Delta Air Lines, the third largest airlines in the world, United Continental Holdings, the seventh largest airline in the world, Southwest Airlines among many smaller US carriers.
Shouldn't this discrimination be illegal? Please provide any other business outside of aviation that would treat a customer this way and not respect a legal name change? I am just looking for one industry or business on this planet.
