Missing middle name on boarding pass
 
Probably a silly question, but here goes anyway: Traveling to Europe with Delta Airlines and my wife's boarding pass doesn't have her middle name on it. We both have Delta Skymiles accounts and when booking flights, it automatically puts in our names and other pertinent information, but for some reason it never puts her middle name in (I'm guessing she didn't provide one when signing up for her account). I usually add it in at the time of booking, but I guess I either forgot or got distracted this time (oops!). Anyway, will her missing middle name be any issue on the flight out of the U.S. and/or the flight back from Frankfurt?

My middle name is on my passport but I never use it on my ticket. It has never been questioned by any airline, security, immigration person when flying internationally.

Nope, not a problem.

Middle name is not requirement. I never put my middle name into a reservation, it’s not necessary.

Told to me by someone who, until recently, had to look at boarding passes and passports to earn a living, it is not a problem.
