Student legally changes name to avoid £220 Ryanair change fee
A student has changed his name by deed poll because it was cheaper than paying a “ridiculous” Ryanair charge for a booking error. Adam Armstrong, 19, was presented with a £220 administration fee after his girlfriend’s stepfather mistakenly reserved a seat to Ibiza for him with the budget airline under the surname of West.

I'm more worried that it is that easy and cheap to change your identity, especially for the purpose of getting on an airplane. It seems that in this world of terrorism awareness and people-tracking, that it shouldn't be so easy. Perhaps that's just me...
Changing your Name like this is not the same as changing you identity, as the change is documented and traceable!
The really stupid thing is that it doesn't cost the airline anything to change or correct a name. It's just another way to gouge the traveler.

Man Changes Name to Avoid Airline Fee
This might be the best story about an airline fee in the history of airline fees, and not only because it involves Batman. A 19-year-old from Manchester, England, has legally changed his name rather than pay a $336 fee to Ryanair, reports the Guardian.

I guess the kid's time must not be worth much, if he believes it was more economical to change his last name rather than pay the ticket fee. Does he drive? What about any other records that his birth name were on?
My daughter just had to cancle a trip to Rwanda over 40 days in advance. The airline old her she would get 80 dollars credited to her 2100 paymnet. She asked them how many miles credit she could get instead. It was almost nothing. So...she contacted the credit card company and they reversed charges as she had given plenty of notice. The airline has XX? days to attenpt to re-reverse, but I doubt they will. Try that with the airline's own credit card!
