Answer: As part of the TSA's Secure Flight Program, the names on airline tickets must match the name on passports. We recommend that you contact the airline you are traveling with to see if they can provide a solution for the name mismatch.
For security reasons, the first name and surname on your booking must match the names on your travel document(s). We do not require middle name or second/double-barrelled surnames for flights. For information on how to change a name on your booking, please visit our Name Change FAQs here.

Do you need to put your full name on an airline ticket? In general, you should be OK to travel without including your middle name on your airline ticket, but you must include your first and last name as they appear on your government-issued ID. So no, you do not necessarily need your full name on your ticket.
What does 'full name' mean? An individual's 'full name' is their whole, legal name. It includes their full first name (forename), middle name(s) or initial(s) if any, and their full last name (surname). Usually, a person's full name is the name stated on their passport or driver's licence.
If you booked your airfare yourself, you need to verify the information before you pay for it. In the US, you have up to 24 hours to cancel your flight without any cancellation fees. If you do not catch the misspelling of your name as it is on your ID card or passport, you can be denied entry through security.
The verification, the airline says, happens by scanning the photo page and reading the embedded passport chip. The digital identity is then created, stored on the mobile device and ready to use for future travel.
Middle names do not matter. The rule of thumb is that the name on the ticket has to match your name on your passport without regards to name order or capitalization.
