can I change name on eurostar ticket if API not done yet
26 Jan 2025, 19:25

I have bought tickets for my daughter and myself to travel from London to Bruges on eurostar in April. My daughter is now unable to travel so my husband is coming instead. We hadn't completed the API for my daughter so can I just put his details in instead? I know that the name on the tickets are not looked at so wondered whether this would be ok to do.

API has nothing do with it, Eurostar works very much like an airline ticket, the name on the eticket is who is travelling. If you want to change names, it's a new booking & ticket.
