How to key in Asian names when making a flight reservation? [duplicate]
Let's assume my name is "A B C" for the argument's sake.
It's an Asian name, and it is written that way in the passport (more or less. Actually in the passport it is written with full phonetic marks and symbols - but is not unrecognisable from the non-phonetic one). The passport doesn't make it clear which part is the family, middle, and first name, it is understood that "A" is the family name, "B" is the middle name, and "B" is the first name.
I've booked an international flight, and the website requires to input names in order of first-middle-last. No problem here, I simply input them as they are. The problem is, when the ticket is issue, the name on the ticket will be "A/C B", unmatched with the one written in my passport. The name on the itinerary is "C B A", also not a match.
The reservation is already booked, and name change is impossible.
My gravest concern is with the given names. The whole given name as written in passport is "B C", while that on the ticket is "C B". Do you think it can be a problem?

Can I book 2 flight tickets on same name?
Re: Is it illegal to book 2 flights under the same name? You can book and pay for as many flights in as many names as you like. The question is how much refund will you get for the tickets you are not using. There is absolutely nothing illegal with booking multiple tickets.How do you write your name when booking a flight?

Although middle names generally don't matter much (at least when traveling domestically), airlines will also let you delete or add an initial or middle name. You just can't make changes to the date of birth and gender in conjunction with a name correction. The point is that you must still be the one traveling.What information should be given when making a flight reservation?
Input each traveler's personal information, including full name, date of birth, email address and phone number when booking a flight.
