As of July 2026, TUI Airways charges a flat £50 (or €50) per person per booking to change the name on a flight-only booking, with the change applied to all segments. A TUI package holiday can be transferred to another person entirely, provided you give at least 7 days' written notice and the new lead passenger accepts TUI's terms — which makes an unwanted TUI booking one of the most resalable in UK travel.
TUI Airways' Conditions of Carriage set the name-change fee at £50 per person per booking (€50 if you pay in euros), as a flat fee at any time. Corrections of genuine spelling mistakes are free, as long as they do not amount to swapping in a different person. We checked the current published Conditions of Carriage on 18 July 2026.
Two details matter: the change must apply to all segments of the booking (you cannot rename just the outbound leg), and flight-only name changes are processed by phone or in a TUI store rather than online self-service — so do not leave it to the final days.
Package bookings play by kinder rules. Under TUI's package booking conditions — and the statutory transfer right in the Package Travel Directive 2015/2302 — you may transfer your holiday to another person if you give at least 7 days' notice in writing or by email, and the new lead passenger accepts the transfer and TUI's terms.
TUI's package conditions have historically charged a £25 per person amendment fee for a name or passenger change; confirm the current figure in the booking conditions for your specific holiday before you rely on it, because TUI updates its terms by booking date. Travel insurance does not transfer — the new traveller needs their own policy. If you added TUI Flex when booking, one name change per person is free up to 28 days before departure.
Because both flight-only and package TUI bookings can move to a new name, they resell well — packages especially, since the buyer takes over the whole holiday. List the booking on SpareHolidays for free; the buyer's payment is processed via Stripe before the transfer step begins.
For a package, plan around the 7-day written-notice rule: agree the sale early enough that TUI receives notice in time, then submit the name change, upload the evidence, and the payout is scheduled two calendar days after the trip ends. Confirm the current amendment fee in your booking conditions first — carrier terms change, and the fee comes out of your margin.
