Using an e-credit for someone else
I recently cancelled an itinerary, and received most of the ticket value back by way of an e-credit into my account.
Can I use it to buy a ticket for my other half? Or am I limited in getting a ticket just for me? The website seems to only let me book the latter.
thanks.

In my experience, a credit received from cancelling a non-refundable ticket is non-transferable and can only be redeemed for travel for the person named on the credit. They differ from TCVs, which although they might be associated with a particular person, can be used to book travel for anybody.

Did you get an e-mail with a voucher number? If so, check the terms and conditions at the bottom of the e-mail, some will allow you to assign the number to someone else, others will not!

Only way to do this is to take the credit, book the cheapest non-refundable one way you can find, forgo the money lost on that flight and the rest of the balance will be a voucher usable by anyone.
