What if my airline ticket has my middle name but my passport does not?
As long as your first name and surname are correct then you will be fine. First and last names are generally what is checked, usually though this is when passport has middle names and tickets dont, not the other way round.
Does your airline ticket have to match your passport exactly middle name?
Under the TSA's rules, the name on your boarding pass must match your government-issued ID. However, if you're missing your middle name on your boarding pass, it shouldn't be an issue. That's because your airline profile and/or the information on your ticket will match your Secure Flight passenger information.
Do British Airways give compensation?
Compensation. You may be able to claim back costs caused as a result of a delayed or cancelled flight – for example, accommodation costs or food and drink while waiting at an airport.
Should I check-in online even if I have luggage?
Even if you have bags to check in, the bag drop process is much faster if you have already checked in online. If you are running late, say arriving at the airport only 30 min before departure, the airport check-in counter may be closed. Checking in online helps you beat the counter close time.
Do I still need to check in at the airport if I checked in online?
What to Do After Online Check-In. Once you receive your electronic boarding pass, you can head straight to security if you're traveling carry-on only. If you're checking a bag, you'll still need to stop by the ticketing area at the airport. Look for special “bag drop” lines that bypass longer check-in lines.
Why do airlines charge for name changes?
What's really happening is that airlines want to control their revenue. In the days when you could transfer tickets, consolidators would scoop up the cheap ones and resell them, negating the airline's ability to move the ticket price around as demand ebbed and flowed.
How do I change my passenger name after booking?
To change the name on a flight ticket you should always contact the airline or travel agent you booked with as soon as you realise the name change is needed. This is because many airlines will have a cut-off point for name changes (generally up to 24 hours before the flight).
Is it better to check-in online or at the airport?
For a short-haul flight where you are only taking hand luggage, checking in online saves a lot of time and is therefore much better than checking in at the airport. If, on the other hand, you have to check in bulky luggage, it is better to use the classic check-in at the airport for security reasons.
