Flight changes

I’ve booked a family holiday with loveholidays and need to change two flight tickets to different people
Loveholidays have told me that I can’t and need to buy new flights. 
Is there anything I can do to get them just to change the flight names for an admin fee or am I snookered

  • It may be that it’s actually cheaper to buy new tickets and that’s why you have to.

    For example Ryanair charges a £115 fee for name changes per person.

    Love Holidays would then add it’s own admin. fee on top of that.

    So if the flights were less than £150 then new ones would workout cheaper for you.

    A lot of airlines also have non-transferable tickets.

    Companies such as Loveholidays will use the cheapest possible flights and they often don't permit any changes whatsoever.
