What is EasyJet Name Change Policy?

 

EasyJet provides the passengers with the ability to change the name used in the ticket by correcting minor errors. Minor corrections, such as spelling mistakes of up to three letters or title revisions, are free and made online. But a complete change of names or a booking to another person involves a fee. Your ticket should be under your name, exactly the ID or passport you will present upon travelling, so that you do not have to get delayed at the boarding gates simply because of a name mismatch. There is a fare change, which is applied to the change of name and in a situation where the new fare is higher, you have to pay the increased fare, but not where the new fare is lower and the previous fare will not be refunded.

 

How to Change Your Name on EasyJet: Step-by-Step Procedure

 

  • Access Your Booking: Select the EasyJet site or mobile and log in with the email account and password you used to book in. Alternatively, you can use the Manage Bookings where you need to enter your last name and booking reference number.
  • Change of name: Find Change Names or in amend the name among your booking details.
  • Make Minor Corrections (to 3 characters): Here, you can add titles or make some minor corrections in your spelling free of charge.
  • In Full Name Changes: Enter new full name when changing the ticket to another individual or any major change of name. As per the EasyJet Name Correction Policy, in case this is more than three characters they are charged.
  • Confirm and Pay Fees (Where applicable): In case the change is a complete name change you will be asked to pay the required fee. Also, cross-check fare differences.
  • Recheck and Print Boarding Pass: Once you have changed the name successfully, you need to recheck in under the new name and print or download your new boarding pass.
  • Timing Requirements: The changes should be made at least 2 hours prior to scheduled departure in case of online booking or at least 90 minutes prior to departure in case of airport booking.

  • According to the EasyJet Name Change Policy, if the corrections are made online and are not more than three, then they are free.
  • Name Change or Transfer of Tickets:
  • The price will be 25 USD per person, per flight when the change is made over 60 days prior to the travel date (online).
  • Per flight, a change within 60 days of departure is charged at $50 per passenger (online).
  • This gives an extra $5 administration charge in the event of processing the changes through Customer Service, thus, resulting in $30 or $55, respectively.
  • The difference in fare is not refundable in case the new fare is lower than the original fare.

Conclusion

 

The policy of rebranding EasyJet strikes a balance between flexibility and set guidelines and charges. Corrections on minor spelling can be done without a fee and changing of name fully needs some fee which depends on the time of changing the name. The name in the ticket should also be the same with the travel ID or passengers will have to face complications. The ease of the online booking and affordable costs make the process of handling the bookings easy to the travelers.
