Passport / Airline Ticket Question
Yesterday I booked an internatioanl trip on UAL - the agent told me that the passport and airline ticket needed to match exactly. So I gave her my first, middle and last name as it is on my passport. When I got the confirm, it only has my first, middle INITIAL and last name. Is this going to be okay or do I need to call United back?

My passport is the same..."Stephen Edward...." and never had a problem.On my airline tckets, it always prints out "....../STEPHENE" The only question ever asked was a French immigration officer
quot; Oh my,an American with a French name, how interesting.."of course with the overwhelming French accent....He was thinking my first name was "STEPHANE"....So you will not have any problems.Enjoy your trip

Not a problem. United has never used my full middle name on confirmation e-mail. Usually my "passenger name" doesn't even have my middle initial, including for international trips.
Made an award reservation for my sister and the e-mail said it was for "Barbra J Lastname". I called about the spelling of her first name and they said that the name they had was Barbara. No problem.

I agree with the others. My tickets on United (including several international tickets per year) always match the name on my Mileage Plus profile, which includes first name, middle initial, last name. My passport has my full middle name. I've never had a problem.

LauraT,
Not to worry, some computer systems are set so that there is a limit on field inputs but your asked for full name, go figure? Just be sure you have two forms of ID, drivers license and passport for example.
