      Hi everyone,

      Just need a little advice with something.

      Ive booked a Flight for my brother to Zante on 21st June 2012. His name is spelt PHILIP but ive spelt it PHILLIP on the booking. they want £40 to change one letter. Do you reckon it will go un-noticed during checkin?

      Thanks

      I had this and phoned the airline straight away and got it changed...wouldn't have thought it would be a big problem but I wouldn't take the risk.

      You plonker.

      I would ring them up ASAP, they scan the photograph page in the passport and if the details don't match there will be no flying.

      Doesn't really matter how close Philip is to Phillip, it's the same as me booking a ticket with the name Darren when my name is Brad.

      Say nothing.. If (and i doubt they will) when checking in they say anything just make out its their own mistake as im sure you know how to spell your bro's name!

      Ring them back up ask to speak to a manager and explain the situation. Not like its a different person flying... charging you £40 for that is ridiculous

      We had something similar and my travel agent said to just ignore it and we got on the flight ok, but the choice is yours! £40 - they take the pi$$ don't they!

      Cheers lads

      I've tried ringing the robbing tw@ts i totalled 19mins on hold. Ive therefore resorted to twitter to try and get their attention as im struggling to even find an email address to contact them on.

      I could blag them at check-in if they notice it, but im not much of a risk taker. Saying that im on Tren Ace at 100mg ED.
