Two last names one not on boarding pass...
I book a flight using airflightdirect.com I have two last names but usually only go by the first one. On my passport there are both however on my boarding pass I just have the first one. Will this be an issue? Will I not be able to get on my plane?

I think if the one on your ticket is listed last on your passport, for instance 'Smith Jones' on passport and 'Jones' on the ticket it should be no problem. Consider 'Smith' your middle name. But if they're hyphenated on the passport, 'Smith-Jones' or if just 'Smith' on the ticket, I'll bet it will be a problem.

It could be that the full name didn't fit but as the OP stated that they only go by their first last name, I would assume the OP only inputted their first last name and then realised afterwards that the last names on the BP & the reservation should match the passport. There is a bit of leeway on errors with names but not sure it extends to a missing part of the last name. Contact the issuing agent for advice.
