How to sell your flight ticket?

 

Selling your ticket is possible if your airline allows a full name change (transferring the ticket to a new person) rather than just a name correction (fixing a typo).

• Low-Cost Carriers: Most budget airlines (like Ryanair, easyJet, or Wizz Air) officially allow name changes through your online account. Fees vary, but it is a straightforward process. You can check if your Airline and its fee structure here.

• Regular Airlines: While many major carriers do not allow name changes as an official policy, they occasionally make exceptions. It is always worth calling customer service to try and persuade them to allow a change for a fee.

• Package Holidays: If you are a resident of the EU and booked your flights and hotel together, you have significant protection under the European Directive of Package Travel. This directive forces travel agents to allow name transfers for holiday packages.

Key Considerations Before Selling

1. Selling Return Flights

If you are selling a return flight, you generally have to sell both legs together. Airlines usually allow name changes for the entire booking, not individual segments. If you have already flown the outbound leg, it is highly unlikely the airline will allow a name change for the return trip.

2. Changing Dates and Routes

Most airlines allow you to change dates, and some even allow route changes (e.g., London to New York changed to Rome to Paris). If you cannot travel at all, Gadobo can help match you with a buyer who needs those specific changes. You can even list your ticket as an airline voucher on the platform.

3. Fare Differences

When changing a flight or a name, most airlines require you to pay the fare difference if the new ticket is more expensive than the original. To avoid double charges, if you need to change both the name and the flight details, try to process them at the same time.
