Travel warning: Minor typo on airline ticket could cost fliers over €110

Some airlines are still charging hefty fees to change names — or even to correct minor spelling mistakes — on tickets, a consumer group has said.

Which? Travel probed the charges following “recurrent” complaints from members who had been charged for minor name changes, with some having to buy another ticket.

It found that asking an airline to change the name on a ticket could cost over €117, as in their terms and conditions the companies reserve the right to impose such a charge.
