  3. Adam West: changed because it was cheaper than changing his flight booking

  改名为亚当·韦斯特:因为比改签机票预订更便宜。

  In May 2015, 19-year-old Adam Armstrong, a student from Manchester, England, changed his name to "Adam West" because it was cheaper than changing his Ryanair flight booking.

  2015年5月,来自英格兰曼彻斯特的19岁学生亚当·阿姆斯特朗更名为亚当·韦斯特,因为这会比他改签瑞安航空公司的机票预订时付得更少。

  The ticket was booked under the name "Adam West" and the airline wanted to charge him $337 to change it. His girlfriend's stepfather accidentally booked him with that name because that's what he called himself on his Facebook page. "I had put it as Adam West as a jokebecause he was the actor who played Batman on TV," West said.Instead of giving in, Adam changed his name for free to fly with his new name at no charge. However, he did have to pay about $157 to change his passport, which is still cheaper.

  改签那张以亚当·韦斯特之名预定的机票,瑞安航空愿意收取他337美元。亚当女友的继父碰巧用这个名字给亚当订了机票,因为亚当在脸书上这么称呼自己。韦斯特说:"我的脸书账号起名为亚当·韦斯特是个玩笑之举,因为这是蝙蝠侠演员的名字。"亚当并不打算就此作罢,他不花费一毛便改名成功并以新名字登机。然而,他确实需要为更改护照付上大约157美元,这仍然省了很多钱。
