When booking a ticket, you always use your first given name and last name as it appears on your passport or identity card. It often happens that people use their nickname, even though it does not appear on their passport. If you have several (baptismal) names, you only need to use the first one on your ticket.
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.
Under the TSA's rules, the name on your boarding pass must match your government-issued ID. However, if you're missing your middle name on your boarding pass, it shouldn't be an issue. That's because your airline profile and/or the information on your ticket will match your Secure Flight passenger information.
When it comes to the screen where we ask for the Last name on the passport of the person travelling, please write your Given Name in this box, and then type your Title (i.e. Mrs, Mr, etc) into the First name on the passport box.
Most spelling corrections or amendments of a name on a ticket purchased directly with British Airways can be made by contacting us by phone. Please note this may incur charges and you may be asked to provide supporting documentation. If your itinerary includes other airlines, the process may be more complicated.
You can change the name on most flight tickets but the airline will normally charge you an administration fee to do so. Some airlines will allow you to change the name on your reservation because of a spelling mistake but won't allow you to transfer your flight to somebody else.
Contrary to popular belief, an airline ticket itself does not require a passenger's middle name. However, as previously mentioned, providing accurate and up-to-date information, including a middle name, can help to avoid any issues with security or boarding.
