Yes. The name submitted on your airline reservation must be an exact match to the name you provided on your application. If you use a frequent flyer account or online travel profile, ensure that your name is properly saved.

Middle names are not a requirement for travel, and therefore it does not need to be added to your reservation. For a flight departing or landing in the U.S. or an international station, middle names can be added to the secure flight information when completing your online check-in 24 hours before departure.
