alainciao Posted April 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2023 My first time using Regent air and have great nonstop flights. The first one from Dulles to Barcelona is with United. Somehow my name on the United site (in my account) is written (not my real name:)) Paultstephen Miller instead of Paul Stephen Miller. Same with DW. My very experienced TA with a professional TA firm tells me no worry, it happens to her and no problem. I have uploaded my passport with picture on the United flight and have a hard copy "Ready to Fly" so I think I'm OK. However, anyone had any experience with typos in their name when flying?

bobmcm Posted April 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Middle names are often shown with no space between the first name- never been an issue on flights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted April 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Your TA is correct. There is nothing to worry about. Happens to me all the time. Never had an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted April 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Twenty years ago I tried to get Delta to fix this "problem" with no success; now I just live with it; never had an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red1head Posted April 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2023 It’s the same for me on the United site. Never had a problem with international travel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenzSailing Posted April 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Yep, that's the United way. I've been Kennethrobert since forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC-London Posted April 29, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 29, 2023 My United account is the same way with my middle name - no problems whatsoever. I travel extensively and never had an issue with my middle name being attached to my first name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted April 30, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2023 My son’s first and middle name have been run together on AA ever since he started flying at age 3 months. He is now 36. He has never had an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coïncidental that you posted this. To-day, I scheduled my flights through Regent's air concierge desk. When I went to American Airline's website and checked the reservations I found entered in the space for my first name both my first and middle names, in this fashion: XXXXXX XXXX. The space for my middle name was left blank, and the space for my last name contained my last name. My wife's name was listed in the same way. I wasn't able to change it on line. Evidently, it came out this way because of how it was entered by the Regent air concierge. (I've flown with American in the past, and our names were properly entered before.) It's annoying, but not one of those things to take to the mat. I did wonder, though, as you did, if it would be a problem when we present our documents at boarding time. I figured it would not be an issue---even airline employees have to apply logic. Still, I was glad to see so many responses here corroborate it.

alainciao Posted May 1, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Good for you! I didn't see it. It is extra. And I thought I was so careful to show it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcsdkqh Posted May 1, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Speaking of American Airlines, I see the pilots voted today to authorize a strike. Hopefully, just a bargaining ploy, but still worrisome if you happen to have flights booked in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkaratsu Posted May 2, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Yup, the only time the mashup of my first and middle names seemed to make a difference was when trying to log into the ANA website to check on a seat assignment. (I had to use the weird mashup of my first and middle names...) Otherwise, on other recent flights, when checking in no problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
