Has anyone traveled on Turkish Airlines here when the ticket had no middle name but their passport had a middle name? Any issues? Specifically looking for a comment only for those who have traveled on Turkish

Literally just traveled with them this week (connecting via Istanbul) and just checked my ticket stub - only first and last name on the ticket and my passport obvs has my middle name and zero issues! Also - hot tip. When checking in ask if you can upgrade to business. I asked and it was 440 Lira (which is like $24 and you get lounge access! So worth it).

Rare road trip use (1x or 2x / yr; <300 miles one way)
Have garage (to charge at home)
