Ticketing name not matching passport

[RooFlyer]

I recently booked some QFF redemption flights on QR over the phone through QF as online booking wouldn't work. I was informed that QR requires the middle name and DOB.

That's the only time I've encountered such a requirement that I can recall. I'll bet that when it comes to flying it will make no difference...

As you know, I booked the same flights (or one, at least), and some other QR ones via the QFF call centre and they didn't ask me the middle name! Its not on my e-ticket.

Wonder if I'll get to spend more time in Tehran? :shock:

All I can add is that flying a number of times to/from the USA and into parts of Asia and Europe, I have never used my middle name on any of the tickets (first name, family name, only), whereas my middle name appears in my passport. Nothing has ever been said by anyone.

I echo DC3.
I've done too many trip to asia and the USA and NEVER use my middle name on the booking with QF or Virgin, yet it is obviously on my passport.
I've never had an issue anywhere (check in, passport control, duty free, boarding, homeland security).
Relax and enjoy your flight.

I've even used the two different spellings of my middle name on different tickets (and obviously passports only have one), and these days I don't even bother with middle names, no problems anywhere.

I've only once seen someone having a problem with names and that was because they had booked the ticket under their married name, and their passport was under the maiden name. Even then the check in agent appeared to be doing all they could to fix the problem.

Alaska were insistent on asking for full names for a recent HKG-JFK (on CX) redemption booking.

Asia Miles were too for a SYD-LAX (on AA)-this required me to send Mstr andye1's scanned passport as different to the set-up of redemption nominees.

I'm quite sure they would have been fine without middle names
