Change of name on BA ticket

Hey!

I would like to change a name on a partner ticket from British Airways, however, the ticket is non refundable or changeable.

Now I discovered that I need to confirm the details as Advanced passenger Information, would it be possible to enter a new name there and get the ticket issued on a different name? did anyone of you tried this before?

thanks!!

    Please clarify, is this a change of name to a different person, or a change of name due to typo or not fully knowing about their correct names?

    BTW1 - what's a 'partner ticket' - is it something special?
    BTW2 - what's the 'Hey!' for?
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    The two things have nothing to do with each other.

    BA will only change a few letters of a name if there's been a typo. They won't do a complete name change on any type of ticket.
