Student legally changes name, buys new passport, all to avoid Ryanair name change fee
A STUDENT who claimed he saved £117 by legally changing his name to match his Ryanair ticket actually saved just £7.
Adam Armstrong claimed he would have been forced to pay a total of £220 to change his name on his ticket after a booking error.
The ticket was booked in the name Adam West, and so the student thought it would be cheaper to change his name legally for free and purchase a new passport for £103 in the name matching the booking.
The student thought he would have to pay the £110 name-change fee twice, for him and his girlfriend.
However Ryanair has clarified that the airline’s policy would have only required him to pay £110, meaning he saved just £7.
Idiot!
