Have you tried the British Airways Website?

Due to the increases in security measures, you can no longer travel in your maiden name but have your passport in your married name, or travel in your married name and have your passport in your maiden name. It's also no longer possible to simply take your marriage certificate as a form of identification when you check-in.

To ensure as smooth a journey as possible, we ask that you have your booking, ticket and passport all in the same name.
If you need to change your name on an existing ticket to match your married/maiden name in your passport, please contact your nearest British Airways office. There is no charge for this type of change, however if the taxes, fees and carrier charges on your ticket have changed since you made the booking we will need to take any additional monies at this point. Please be ready to send us some proof of identity if we think it's necessary.

The similar situation to above applies to any customers who have maybe got divorced and returned to their maiden name, or have changed their name by deed poll - simply contact your nearest British Airways office to make the necessary changes.

If you are a member of our Executive Club and need to change the name on your account, we have an FAQ to help you .
