Is is possible in ANY WAY that if you purchased a ticket for someone else to TRASFER that ticket into another persons name so they can use it?

Have you tried calling the airline's 800 ticket number and asking them? Or customer service?

The airline will probably help you out. I suppose it depends on who you bought it from. Hotwire, and the like, usually don't allow and changes at all and it's in writing when you buy the ticket.

Work with the airlines and see. You may have to pay a small charge to transfer it.

Unless they have changed the regs in the last year, NO!

I was told it is a Homeland Security issue. I did not question it and just got a 80% refund. Dickwads.

It was a ticket for my daughter and I wanted to transfer it to my son. She almost laughed at me on the phone.

RE #6

Dammit V, don't you know the only types of questions like that which are allowed on this forum are those about guns, cooking and cars?

I was able to change a departure location recently but it cost about a hundred bucks to do so... not sure about a name change.... call the airline...

He's probably on the "A" concourse dealing with some a-hole passenger complaining about the weather in Detroit.

If it was a refundable ticket, you might be able to do it -for a fee-.

A non-refundable ticket, you know the ones with a good price, fugedaboutit. They're non-transferable.

thanks everyone.

i have found that at times they will refund the one ticket and re-book under another persons name with an extra 50 or 100 dollar fee.

thanks,
