Orbitz - Names Combined
 
I booked flights with Orbitz (happy dance). I included my first and middle name, and they were combined in the transmission to American Airlines.

Example: Orbitz says I am Jane Doe Smith.
American Airlines says Janedoe Smith.

Orbitz said it was a problem with their system, and no problem. American Airlines said that it was common from Orbitz, and a non issue. This is my mother and mine's pipe dream trip come true - and I want to make sure any possible problems are taken care of ahead of time.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any issues I should be aware of? We are traveling from the US to Europe and will have passports and picture ids.

My first/middle names are routinely combined into one on tickets, even when I enter them separately or my company TA issues the tickets. This has happened on AA, UAL, Swiss, and Lufthansa. It isn't a problem.

Relax and enjoy preparing for your trip.
