I did a very silly thing. When I booked my plane tixs from US to Vietnam, I forgot to add my husband’s middle name in the tix. The passport has his middle name but the tix doesn’t. I tried calling to add his middle name but the airline is requesting me to cancel and re- purchase the tixs again – I declined bc that would be sooo expensive. We are supposed to be leaving in a wk! So my question is, would my husband have trouble getting to the flight. Everything is correct but just not his middle name. I already feel dumb for my mistake so plz be kind 🙏

Just make sure the visa has the correct name
Approach your Airlines booth at the airport, they will give an accompanying letter to rectify the mistake and check you didn’t make the same mistake on the visa
I haven’t added my middle name in a couple of International flights an it’s never been an issue , my passport has my middle name on it .
I had the same thing a few years ago to Bali. My passport has no middle name.. ticket did. Airline said rebook-but I chose to not lose thousands of dollars. It was fine, but I guess if they wanted to refuse me boarding-maybe they could have😏😳
If it was vietnam airlines, i thought you add in for a small fee considering you send them a copy of passport + you already filled in DOB/ travel documents details in isnt it?
No problem
My husband has a middle name but I never booked anything with his middle name. We never had problem flying United airline for last 10 years. However, we had to pay $15 re-ticketing fee when we were flying domestic in Vietnam. This is just my experience. I hope you will have it figure out
I didn’t have my middle name on my airline ticket and had no problem
No you are fine. Important is first name and last name on ticket matches your passport.
I’m not 100% on this but it’s probably most important that your visa matches the passport. I also didn’t put middle names on our tickets, we leave next week
