Myself and my better half are getting married later this year. Far more importantly we'll be going on honeymoon straight after. However my future wife would like to change her name (and her passport) to Mrs airbus_7005 before we go on honeymoon.

Since our honeymoon will be booked via the Executive Club (MFUs) I can't just book her ticket in my name (we have a HHA). The only way I presume would be to change her name with EC however between us booking the honeymoon and going on it she has plenty of travel in her maiden name.

Would the EC let me book her honeymoon ticket in her new name if I asked nicely? If not how on Earth do we manage this? Help
I don't know if the future Mrs Airbus will be able to get the passpost in her new name until she has a marriage certificate? That might be the sticking point rather than the air ticket. Congratulations, by the way!

Mrs Eyeswater went through a similar process after our wedding; the timings of some trips meant that at one point the names didn't always match. Carrying a copy of the marriage certificate sorted it easily every time. I think airlines etc are quite used to this.

Best of luck to you both!
