Traveling Air India from India to US. Missed middle name on the ticket. Airlines can’t update it, cancelling and rebooking is almost more than twice the cost!. Has anyone travelled without any issues, just with first end last name on the ticket? Looking for a precedence that it’s a non issue.

I don’t have a middle name, so I’d say it’s not required? But don’t quote me on that!

Very unhelpful. But thanks.

You atleast need to have the middle initial on the ticket

It depends on the airline's requirements when checking in. Most want the full name as it's written on the passport, but on occasion you'll find a few that just ask for first/last name or first/last name and middle initial.

Getting different answers from airlines. Just asking for anybody’s personal precedence with air india (international leg)

Here you go -- looks like for Air India you need to use the full name as written on the passport: "In case of International travel, the name should be entered & matched *exactly as it appears on the passport* i.e. complete SURNAME and GIVEN NAME."

See this link for more info: https://www.airindia.in/new-correct-name-bookings.htm

Thanks. This is on most airlines websites. Even when past times I have entered, the middle names truncates because of length.

Just looking for any personal precedence with air india..

You don't need it. I have a long middle name that often didn't appear in boarding passes for international flights to/from the usa and never had a problem. But I never flew on air India.

Thanks M2. I will go ahead with the ticket! 🤞

Why can’t airlines update it? Some airlines I know let’s you update a few characters after booking
