No Surname in indian passport and given name is considered as last name in E ticket for an international flight
I have booked tickets for my parents to visit Mauritius for a week and my mom's passport (given name is xxxx) doesn't have surname, so in the e-ticket form her name has been printed as "Mr xxxx". I have spoken to the travel agency and Air Mauritius, but didn't get any information regarding the issue.
Can anyone please tell me if there might be a problem boarding the flight?
I am very anxious right now since its their first international flight.
Best Answer
Security checkers have a lot of discretion here. I've had my girlfriend board a flight where she was identified as "Mr. Vo", and I've had my name abbreviated to just a first initial. Both times I successfully boarded the plane. They care much more about a valid passport with a matching photo.
Especially if they're flying from India, where not having a surname is a common occurrence, I think they should be fine.
