Wife's Velocity name on ticket as 'Mr' instead of Mrs - changing with QR

[philr2000]

A week out from a trip I booked for my wife to Europe where she is flying Qatar and booked via velocity points...I've just noticed somehow she is booked as 'Mr' instead of 'Mrs' - all other pieces are correct (her first and last name etc).

Haven't called Velocity yet, but having a mini heart attack here as to what it may mean for the booking...welcome any comments or guidance if anyone has past experience.

Without having come across that issue before, I doubt it will be a problem. I don't think titles are part of the booking - sometimes I put Dr into the booking to see if it improves the experience (may do!). < I am Dr RooFlyer ...>

I accidentally booked my sister as Mr, booking with Qatar through Virgin Australia. I called them up and they said it shouldn't matter.

I call her Mister Sister now, though, so I got something out of it

But what happens if you're on a plane and there's a medical emergency?
The flight attendant goes "It's OK, Dr Roo Flyer is In Row 1"

Say "Does your first aid kit have a chisel?"

Little did they know, Dr Roo had their doctorate for Philosophy

I don't think the title itself would matter. Not sure if it autopopulates a gender field which might

Dr RooFlyer answers - "Igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic? "

I'd be surprised if it did. Not 100% reliable? Airlines also specifically require gender to be input separately.

One of the QF or VFF award booking sites does (experienced it last week but can't remember which)

Speaking to Velocity, they said as long as the name on the ticket is the same, the title doesn't matter...so lets hope that holds!

Flying through Qatar, you might prefer to be thought of as a man considering how they've treated women in the past!!

These days, surely the, "I identify as...", phrase is enough to cover this, yeah?

Please let us know if this tactic works on the day

Not sure I'd want to test that in the ME

Will not be an issue at all.

I'm Dr and I always get the challenge "Can't check in, must select gender". I selected Female on one occasion bc I was walking and phoning like an idiot. I was prepared to use my PhD (semantics, very useful), but wasn't questioned on boarding. Maybe it's the walk?

Was this in the ME?

Speaking to Velocity, they said as long as the name on the ticket is the same, the title doesn't matter...so let’s hope that holds!

So, Velocity will own this if things go per shaped?

Woman impersonating a man?
