Changing the name on your booking
Types of name changes
Tickets cannot be transferred to other people
You will not be able to transfer your ticket to another person by completely changing the name, as tickets can't be transferred. You'll need to buy a new ticket.
If you've legally or officially changed your name
We can amend your ticket free of charge. We just need to see the supporting documentation, such as your marriage certificate, to prove you are the same person.
If you’re on your honeymoon or you get married while you’re away, it’s ok to travel under your maiden name.
The key thing is that the name on your booking and ticket matches the name on your passport.
If you've spotted a spelling mistake
If there’s a small spelling mistake in your name on the ticket, we can also amend this for free.
Contact us
To make any change to your name you will need to contact us. If you are not the lead passenger, you’ll need them to do this. If you didn’t book with us
You’ll need to contact the company you booked with, as they may have a different rebooking policy.
Virgin Atlantic is governed by the rules of other airlines so if a name change is linked to another airline, we can’t guarantee they will accept free of charge changes.
