help: jetsaver: change passenger name

[bozza]

hey guys
just read alot through the forum... but as a last resort thought id ask anyway

i know the jetsaver flights are not passenger changeable...
however my sister has return jetsaver tickets for perth leaving in 2 days... she is not able to go now... so i said id buy the tickets off her if i can get my name one them so i can fly...

after argueing with a jetstar phone employee... i realise this is harder to do than i thought.. aside from getting her to check-in for me at the airport and passing me the boarding pass... and hoping they will pass me as her

or

calling back and say i had a sex change...


anyone had any luck with this? or any 'loopholes' that people know of?

help asap would be appreciatd.. as i think after 24 hours i will have 0 chance of ticket changes..

thanks...

Welcome to AFF!

Unfortunately, name changes on Jetsaver fares can't be done.

Also, I don't know how you'd go about getting your sister to check in for you on a return trip, as that'd involve her being in perth as well, and that kind of defeats the point.

You can do Online Check-In. Sometimes the gate agent will check ID, sometimes not. Might be a bit sus though if you're not the same sex as your sister...

OLCI or machine check in is the way to go. I checked in my wife at SYD on Monday. She had a JQ Light booking. Thence to QP and boarding after that no one looked at the BPs. You may feel guilty but it will cost you $100 to change the details of a Jetsaver booking

I believe after losing the previous battle over fees for name changes, Jetstar stopped allowing them

That's what it says on their fare types page. Name changes can still be made for 3K flights but not any more for JQ flights.

Is the risk really worth it if you get caught :?:

Probably even worse on the way home :!: :shock:

Yeah, Perth is not a place that you'd want to buy a last minute airfare from, especially if you like money.

If you really want to go to Perth, check Tiger for a cheap flight. But I certainly wouldn't attempt what you're planning.

Exactly my point.
