Last day for entries and votes on the February 2020 Photo Competition! Still time to add an entry (although not a huge amount of time to gain votes)

Hi travelers--I'm curious about transferring a round trip airline ticket from one passenger to another. (JFK->LHR, Virgin Atlantic, if it matters.) The customer rep says it can't be done, but I see plenty of answers here that talk about name changes on tickets. Are there any magic words I need to say to effect a name-change? Any mainsite questions covering this? (I don't know the tag ecosystem over here, couldn't find much searching.)

@nitsua60 Name changes is mostly when someones name has been spelled wrong, at most when they used to given names rather than a given name and a family name. What you want is not a name change, it is a different name and most airlines do not allow that for most of their tickets.

I am pretty sure we have questions about it, not sure whether yours would be a duplicate.

@Willeke Even just finding the question(s) would be helpful--I don't need to post anew if I can read some good info from someone who isn't trying to get a few K$ out of me =|

You can ask, just do not be surprised if it gets closed, as our users as a community are good in finding the older version.

Sorry, I can not remember search terms that would be helpful right now.

No worries.

This time of week seems always very quiet, which amazes me as for me the weekend is always the time to go online.

So there will not be many people around to help you.

@Willeke Nobody's trying to avoid work =)

When I work, I do not have a computer handy and my phone does not make enough of a connection with internet, so for me Stack Exchange of 'off work' entertainment.

Over in RPG we see a pretty clear "US work day" signal ^^ =)

US workday is Europe after work on weekdays.

Yeah, but those particular chatizens generally report being at work.

On a different chat we usually had (still have for a part) US non working during daytime, Europe after hours, Australia before work. Worked for us.

Nobody on that chat did chat during work.

@Willeke Yeah, we get some of that, too. Lots of people saying "night!" as others are saying "morning!"

That is a usual one.

We've shortened it to a tag: <ITAG> = "insert time-appropriate greeting"

Best spread I ever had was Alaska, Europe and Hong-Kong or Singapore.

That will work if the group is big enough, we have always been a small group, 10 max, four more likely.

On this chat it can run from nobody for a week to 20 at once without a visible reason.

And many more who just come in at times.

And talking about time, I was just getting ready to leave for the night. I hope you excuse me. Night... or <ITAG>

@Willeke Thanks for the pointers.
