A British student saved more than £100 in airline fees, and all he had to do was legally change his name.
Adam Armstrong changed his Facebook name to that of Batman actor Adam West as a joke, but the prank backfired when his girlfriend’s stepdad booked him onto a flight to Ibiza under that identity.
It was all fun and games until he discovered changing the name on the Ryanair booking would cost him a hefty £220.
We’re not sure if the 19-year-old Mancunian is a maths student, but his mental arithmetic is certainly up to scratch as he quickly found a way to cut that figure in half…by becoming Adam West himself.
He changed his name by deed poll (for free), and a new passport for ‘Adam West’ cost just over £100.
The saving will surely come in handy, especially on a student budget.
Perhaps he’ll put his quick-thinking to good use in another way…fighting crime in Gotham City perhaps.
