This August I booked a plane ticket for my boyfriend thinking that the name I put was the correct one. I just found out that the last name on his state ID is not the same as his name on the ticket. Its a different last name completely he is adopted and apparently his last name wasn't legally changed to his adopted parents.
Is this going to be a problem? His flight is in 3 weeks. I bought it through Expedia and he is flying with Delta.
EDIT: This flight is domestic within the United States
If your boyfriend has any TSA accepted ID that has the name as listed on the reservation, he can use that.
Barring that, I'm afraid you may be charged a fee by Delta to change the name on the ticket; as you cannot fly if the name doesn't match that on the ID you are using to identify yourself.
There are some exceptions (like if the first/last name is switched - a common issue); but in your case its a completely different name.
Its like saying Burhan Khalid wants to travel on a ticket issued to Burhan Jones.
