Adam West, formerly Adam Armstrong, the college student from Manchester, England who legally changed his name because it was cheaper than paying an airline fee.
Ryanair is the Spirit Airlines of the UK and they charge for absolutely every little goddamn thing. If you’re ever in an emergency situation on Ryanair and you need the oxygen mask to drop, it’ll probably only drop after you swipe your credit card and agree to pay the £50 fee. Their ticket prices are cheaper but they get your ass by adding a charge for everything. Adam Armstrong was sick of Ryanair’s extra fees, so he came up with a way to get out of giving them more money.
Adam Armstrong tells The Sun (because this truly is news) that his girlfriend’s stepdad accidentally booked him as “Adam West” when buying his ticket from Ryanair. “Adam West” is what Adam Armstrong called himself on Facebook as a joke, because you know, Batman. Since the name on the ticket has to match the name on the passport, Adam wasn’t going to be able to use the ticket. So he called Ryanair to change the name on the ticket from “Adam West” to his government name “Adam Armstrong.” My sister has actually been in that situation before. She typed the wrong name on a ticket order (don’t ask) and the airline wouldn’t even change the name for a fee. She had to buy a whole new ticket. Ryanair agreed to change the name on Adam’s ticket, but of course, they agreed to do it for a fee and they wanted to double that fee since his girlfriend was on the same booking. The fee was £220. Ryanair does not fuck around when it comes to fucking you hard with their extra fees.
Adam shat on that and after doing a little research, he found out that it’s cheaper to legally change his name and get a new passport than pay the extra fee. The Daily Mail says that Adam was able to legally change his name to “Adam West” by deed poll for free. To get a new passport, he had to pay £103, which was less than Ryanair’s name change fee. Dude really showed them! Ryanair squirted out a statement about this and they don’t say this in the statement, but I’m sure they’ll charge Adam West a “statement fee” for having to make this statement:
Customers are asked to ensure that the details they enter at the time of booking are correct before completing their booking and we offer a 24 hour ‘grace period’ to correct minor booking errors. A name change fee is charged in order to discourage and prevent unauthorized online travel agents from ‘screenscraping’ Ryanair's cheapest fares and reselling them on to unwitting consumers at hugely inflated costs.
Sure, Adam could’ve just bought a new ticket, but then he’d be giving Ryanair more money and he wouldn’t have a story to tell The Sun and more importantly, he wouldn’t share a name with Batman.
