Also, it must be all paid for at one time. The person named in the voucher can't just present it and let the passenger finish ticketing later. So if the voucher doesn't cover the cost of the ticket, whoever is presenting the voucher must pay. I don't think they would accept a cell phone call from the passenger to give credit card info.
On the other hand, if there is a residual amount from the voucher, the residual voucher will have the same name as the new ticket.
Well stated
MsEverywhere. The only exception I've personnally used is for voucher's in my kids names (who are usually in school when I use their vouchers). Once I was asked for a birth certificate (which I didn't have). I now show up with their birth certificate (but have never been asked to show it). We earned a four DBC vouchers on 1/2 (PHX to SLC after the Fiesta Bowl) and the vouchers had "Minor Under age 18" printed on it so this should make it easier to use.
