Thanks for that. I've found myself in a difficult situation. I was due to go to NYC for New Years Eve but a friend cannot make it now due to a family situation. I was going to see if I could change the name on the flight to another friend, but they can't make the first 2 days of what I'd originally booked. So I'd be looking at changing the name and moving it two days. From what I understand AL will charge me the difference of the new flights as well, which have gone through the roof. Does anyone know of anyway around this? The difference at the moment is €800 (difference) + €100 (name change) :-(
