Changing name on air ticket???

[shari2shop]

HI, DH and I are to fly to WDW on Sept 29. We are so UNDECIDED as to what to do. I have thought of at least 5 different options for us!!!! I was wonder about having the name on his ticket changed to my son. Of course I bought a Nonrefundable, non transferable ticket. Will they let me change it? Will I have to pay fees, buy a whole new ticket??? HELP!!!!

On one hand, I would say under all the restrictions you're facing from the airlines right now that this is one they probably will not be very flexible on. You will probably have to get a refund on that ticket (less any fees/charges that may apply) and buy a new one for your son.

OTOH, the airlines are allowing some things ticketwise now that they never do ordinarily. Your best bet is to call them directly and find out what if anything they can do for you.

right now I would have to say no they won't do it since they are enforcing everything to the max but then again they have been bending over backwards for people right now too. wait until you get closer to the date. they only have refunds up to the 25th of the month. it may change again. but then again it may not.

I have actually done this, but they have charged me a large fee to do it. I believe it is over $100 and you have to go to the airport to do it. It was NOT fun and you need a really good reason.
