Booking flights online is fast, but small errors can happen—especially when typing in passenger names. If you've booked with EasyJet and later noticed a mistake in the name, you may be wondering: Is there a way to fix it for free?

The good news is that EasyJet does allow some name corrections at no cost. However, not all changes are treated equally. Whether it's a minor spelling fix or a full name transfer, understanding the airline's rules can help you avoid unnecessary charges.

Free Corrections: What You Can Fix at No Charge

If the issue is simply a typo or a formatting error—like a misspelled first name or swapped surname—EasyJet generally allows the correction for free. These are considered minor mistakes and not full name changes.

For example, you can usually update:

  • Small spelling errors (e.g., "Jonh" instead of "John")

  • Names in the wrong order (first and last names swapped)

  • A missing middle name or initial

To request a correction, contact EasyJet customer support directly via their live chat or phone service. You may need to provide identification that shows the correct name. As long as it's clearly a simple error and not a change of traveler, the update should be processed without a fee.

Acting quickly is key—getting in touch soon after booking increases your chance of avoiding any costs under the EasyJet Name Change policy.

Full Name Changes Come with a Fee

If someone else will be flying instead of you, that's not a correction—it's a full name change. In this case, EasyJet allows the booking to be transferred to a different person, but it comes with a fee.

Here's what you might pay:

  • £55–£60 if the change is made online and more than 60 days before the flight

  • £60–£70 if the change is made less than 60 days before departure or through customer service

  • You may also need to pay the fare difference, if the current ticket price is higher than the original

To make the change, log in to the EasyJet website and go to the “Manage Bookings” section. Enter the new passenger's name, pay the required fee, and you'll receive an updated confirmation.

This EasyJet Name Change option is useful when you can't travel but want someone else to use the flight instead.

Exceptions: Legal Name Changes

In certain situations—such as after marriage or a legal name change—EasyJet may waive the fee if you provide proper documentation. Accepted forms of proof can include:

  • A marriage certificate

  • A court-issued name change document

  • A government-issued ID showing the new name

These requests are reviewed individually, so be sure to contact EasyJet support early and provide all necessary paperwork.

Tips to Avoid Fees

Here's how to reduce the risk of needing a name change later:

  • Double-check all passenger details before confirming the booking

  • Contact EasyJet immediately if you notice an error

  • Review your travel insurance—some policies reimburse name change fees in covered cases

Final Thoughts

It is possible to change a name on an EasyJet booking without paying a fee—but only if it's a small correction like fixing a typo. For full name changes where another person will be flying, fees apply based on timing and method.
