Names on electronic tickets
Checking in recently at BHD on the worlds favourite the check in girl pointed out that I would need to be careful with how my name appeared on the booking reference as some airlines are now charging a fee as in my case the name on the ticket reference was my middle name and not my first name as appears on my passport.
This I could understand where in some cultures the first name is perhaps the family name but as I am Irish/British I fail to see how they could justify an additional fee just because your first name as in your passport does not appear on the ticket reference.
I have always been known by my middle name and this is the one that I use for everything
other than official documents that specify your full name is required.
The girl obviously did not specify an airline but I suspect we all know who she was refering to.
Be interesting to see how it would stand up if one was to be asked for an additional fee on these grounds.
