“A student has changed his name by deed poll because it was cheaper than paying a ‘ridiculous’ Ryanair charge for a booking error. Adam Armstrong, 19, was presented with a £220 administration fee after his girlfriend’s stepfather mistakenly reserved a seat to Ibiza for him with the budget airline under the surname of West. Armstrong, who is studying for a foundation degree in digital marketing at Leeds City College, changed his name to West for free and drove to Liverpool to rush through a new passport for £103. Several airlines charge more than £100 to make minor changes to bookings as highlighted by the Guardian in the past.”
