If the names don't match, your travel carrier or the Transportation Security Administration may require additional documents to verify your identity before allowing you to board.” However, while it's encouraged as a best practice, the TSA does not explicitly require a middle name on airline tickets.
If you're in a situation where you need to change the name on an airline ticket, rest assured that every airline has systems in place to help passengers solve these issues. However, factors like how close to the flight you'll be able to make changes—and how much it'll cost—vary by carrier.
No there is no issue. Your name should be the same as in your passport. I can understand in your passport there is no middle name mentioned but you can write while booking your ticket. Just your name should be as it is like in your passport nothing else.
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.
