EZ Air - Mangled name on airline documentation?

[HBK18412]

We booked EZ Air for our July cruise - it was beating all the other fares we could find out of our home airport. So far so good - we have had a number of schedule changes, but nothing that was problematic.

 

However, when I use the confirmation numbers to log in on the Delta and United sites, I can see our reservations but our names show up bizarrely mashed together. For example, Delta lists me as FIRSTMIDDLEMS LAST and DH as FIRSTMIDDLEMR LAST. United is better - it shows me as Ms. FIRSTMIDDLE LAST and him as Mr. FIRSTMIDDLE LAST. I'm assuming this is just the way their software interpreted the data that was sent to them from Princess. The actual names are all correct, just jammed together into one word but, in the case of Delta, with MS, MR or MISS stuck in the middle as well.

 

Is this just how it looks for everyone else? DH has run into trouble with minor differences between the way NY insists on putting his name on his driver's license vs. his full name used for airline tickets (he always uses his passport now to get around this problem.) I'm just having a nightmare, based on those experiences, that these mangled names are going to be a problem when we get to check in at the airport and wondering if I should call at least Delta and get the MS and MR out of the middle of our names.

 

Anyone? Thanks!

Yes, the Delta system compresses first, middle and Mr or Mrs together with no space between, then a space, then last name. (Delta Diamond frequent flyer)

Every ticket we get from Delta is this way whether EZ air or our own booking. I gave up worrying about years ago. My tickets are always valid and we usually get pre-check.

Perfect! We never fly Delta, so I've never seen it that way before. Thanks so much!

AA does that too. Drives me crazy. I've even called and asked them to separate them, but they can't. My first and middle names are squished together every time.

Same with my EZ Air for Air Canada. The only issue I had with it was not being able to check in online as the name on the ticket didn't "match" the name on the passport. At the airport it wasn't a problem!

I currently have bookings with Air Canada and Virgin Atlantic and I’m squished. It has happened in the past but ends up okay on the actual ticket.

United does this if I book direct or through EZ Air.

We currently have three sets of tickets on Delta, one set purchased through Viking Cruises, one purchased on our own and one through Princess EZAir. All of them have the same mangled names. At least they're all mangled the same way, I assume the names as shown are attached to our frequent flyer numbers.

And then Princess assigned my husband a second Captains Circle number under his “mangled name” (but not me). I need to call them to get that removed.

Ditto with United. When I go into the United website, I view reservations originated from Viking, EZAir, and ones I made directly. All of them have the same mooshed names. It's been like this for years. I do think it's a display issue and that the names are correct in their systems.

Booked EZair Alaska airlines flight and same thing happened to our names. I was concerned and called the airline. Was told it wouldn't be a problem.
