Hi all.

Is it compulsory to have your middle name on flight bookings?

Is just given name, and family name ok for boarding aircraft?

Anyone been turned away and denied boarding because the middle name in passport, is not on the flight booking?

Thanks.
We have no name shortening.
Just not included middle names on booking.
First names, and surnames match %

Never included my middle name on a flight booking and never had an issue.
Thank you for that information.
I hope sense sees sense and I dont need to do 3 name changes, just to add middle names.

Never even occurred to me in 50+ years of flying to put my middle name on a booking.
The standard policy of lots of corporate travel agents is to always put the name exactly the same as the passport you send them.
This is what we have learnt these past few days.
Even it the stupid Opodo website aks for "second surname" it actually means middle name.
We dont have a "second surname"

Airline were very good and corrected our 3 passengers by putting in our middle names for free.
Thumbs up for Hainan Airlines ,(Chinese airline)
