If I book flights for 2 people (me and a friend), and then nearer the date my friend can't make it, can I change the name on 1 of the tickets to another person (i.e. another friend of mine).

It would just be a normal booking via the website, it'd be my 1st time with Virgin America as I live in the UK...

How much would this cost?
Can you change it online, or do you need to phone reservations?

Thanks

If you booked a refundable fare, it allows name changes. If not, call in, they'll split the reservation for you so you cancel the flights you don't need after paying the fee. You'll get a credit you can use to rebook for the new name.
