Get the passenger details wrong at checkout, and fixing them later costs real money. The easyJet name change fee is £60 per passenger online, or £65 through the Customer Services Team. Genuine spelling mistakes are a different story: those are free, whichever channel you use.
How much is the easyJet name change fee?
easyJet charges the same fee whether you’re correcting a genuine mistake that counts as “a different traveller” or handing the seat to someone else entirely. The channel you use is what changes the price.

| Fee | Deadline | |
|---|---|---|
| Online (website or app) | £60 per passenger | At least 2 hours before departure |
| Customer Services Team | £65 per passenger | At least 2 hours before departure |
| Genuine spelling mistake | £0 | As soon as you spot it |
Both paid fees are charged per passenger. Correcting the same misspelt surname across a family of four multiplies the bill by four. There’s a third option too: Ground Crew at bag drop can process the change on the day, up to 1 hour before departure. It isn’t a route to a cheaper fee, just a shorter deadline.
How to change a name on your easyJet booking online
The website and the app both work the same way, and it’s the cheaper of the two paid routes.
- Log in to Manage Bookings on easyjet.com, or open “My Trips” in the app.
- Select the booking that needs correcting.
- Find the passenger details section and choose the option to change a name.
- Enter the corrected name and confirm you want to proceed.
- Check the £60 fee shown on screen, then pay to complete the change.
- You’ll receive an updated confirmation email once it’s processed.
The change has to be made across every flight in the booking, not just one leg, so a return trip only needs one pass through the process. Do it at least 2 hours before your flight departs, since the online option closes at that point regardless of how far ahead you booked.
Can you fix a name for free?
Yes, but only for a genuine spelling mistake, not a change of traveller. easyJet’s own terms are direct about this: if the name on your booking doesn’t match your travel document because of a typo, you correct it as soon as possible and pay nothing.
- Correct the mistake on the website or in the app, the same way you’d process a paid change, just without the fee attached.
- Or contact the Customer Services Team directly if you’d rather not do it yourself online.
- The free route only covers genuine errors. If the name needs to change because a different person is travelling, that’s the paid Name Change Fee, not a free correction.
“easyJet draws a hard line between a typo and a different traveller, and it’s the same line the £60 sits on. Fix a genuine mistake and it costs nothing. Try to swap who’s flying under the ‘spelling mistake’ label and you’ll just get asked to pay the fee anyway.”

Is it cheaper to just book a new flight instead?
Sometimes, yes, and the maths is worth doing before you pay. Add up the original fare plus anything you’ve already paid for, such as seats, bags or Speedy Boarding, since all of that is lost if you walk away from a non-refundable booking. Compare that total against a fresh one-way fare on the same route and dates. If the fresh fare comes in under £60, paying the fee to fix a name makes no sense.
The catch is the same one that applies to any non-refundable fare: walk away from the original booking and the ticket price itself is gone, along with any extras. Treat a fresh fare as a genuine alternative only once you’ve added up everything you’d be giving up, not just the headline ticket price.
Can you transfer an easyJet ticket to someone else entirely?
Yes. easyJet’s own terms confirm you can change the name of a passenger on a booking to someone else, and it uses the same Name Change Fee as any other correction, £60 online or £65 through Customer Services. There’s no separate transfer charge and no extra paperwork beyond entering the new passenger’s details.

- A replacement booking is easiest to justify during a genuine fare dip, so check the best time to book easyJet flights and when new routes and dates get released before you commit to rebooking.

easyJet Name Change Fee: FAQs
How much does easyJet charge to change a name on a booking?
£60 per passenger if you do it online through the website or app, or £65 if you go through the Customer Services Team. The higher fee applies whenever an agent processes the change for you.
Can I change a name on an easyJet booking for free?
Yes, but only for a genuine spelling mistake. Correct it on the website, in the app, or through Customer Services and easyJet won’t charge you, as long as it’s a real error and not a change of traveller.
Is it cheaper to rebook an easyJet flight than pay the name change fee?
Sometimes. Compare a fresh one-way fare against your original booking plus any extras you’ve already paid for, since you’d lose all of it on a non-refundable fare. If the fresh fare beats £60, rebooking wins.
Can you transfer an easyJet flight to a different person?
Yes. easyJet allows a full transfer to a different passenger under the same Name Change Fee, £60 online or £65 through Customer Services. There’s no separate transfer charge.
What’s the deadline for changing a name on an easyJet flight?
Online and Customer Services changes both close at least 2 hours before departure. Ground Crew at bag drop can process a change up to 1 hour before, if you’re cutting it fine.
Does easyJet charge extra for a return booking name change?
No extra fee. The change applies to every flight in the booking at once, so a return trip is corrected in a single pass rather than being charged twice.
