Just gone to check in online and realised the wifes name on her passport is still her maiden name on the flight ticket its our married name! Anyone know the cost to change the name on the ticket? Shop is shut so cant phone them until tomorrow and its bugging me!!

When did you book it? I think there's rules that allow the maiden name if you've got proof you're married now, assuming its for a honeymoon or something? Sure I heard that the other day, but could just be rumours from random idiots

Well, after a quick Google seems you should of booked in her maiden name, looks like you can't do that any more.

You could probably get a new passport in a week?

How long have you got? If the airline won't allow it it'll be much cheaper to change the passport.

Obviously its not guaranteed, but you'll more than likely get it back within a week on normal check and send from the PO

Oh yeah, didn't think about Bank Hols screwing it, never mind. Will be worth phoning first choice tomorrow just in case they can sort it (which I'm guessing you will do)

The bomb stuff is hundreds of miles away.

Cairo to sharm is about the equivilent of the distance between London and Glasgow, so pretty fucking far

There was an uprising when we went but all the locals care about is getting tourists money.
