Will I be refused travel due to my flight ticket having a space in my first name?
My first name is SmithQi on the passport, but my ticket shows Smith Qi. Will I be refused travel due to my flight ticket not having space in my first name?
Best Answer
There was a case for my friend's passport where the name didn't exactly match the passport name.
She was not able to use automated counter for collecting boarding pass. But the counter happily issued a boarding pass (after a long queue). Just arrive earlier than usual for the possible things like that and you will be fine. Airport staff is human, they can understand that its indeed you.

What happens if I forgot to put my middle name on my airline ticket?
Even though your boarding pass may not match your government-issued ID (i.e. your middle name is not on it), if your passenger information is correct, there will not be a problem. Bottom Line: Even if you forget to put your middle name in when booking your ticket, chances are there will be no issues when flying.Is full name required on airline tickets?
Not all airlines require a middle name on boarding passes. Some ask for a middle initial or don't prompt you at all. However, the TSA's Secure Flight Program involves tighter guidelines on names on documents in order to cut back on the number of passengers being misidentified.Does ID have to match your plane ticket?
Can I travel under an incorrect name? Definitely not. Under the Transportation Security Administration's (T.S.A.) rules, the name on the boarding pass must match the passenger's government-issued ID.Does middle name have to be on airline ticket?
Interestingly enough, your airline ticket, however, does not require a middle name. Passengers are able to clear security without including their middle name on their ticket because the Secure Flight passenger information matches their airline profile or the information on their ticket.Airline Refunds - Flight Cancelled?

Answer 2
No!
I have experienced the same problem, since I have multiple last names.
Sometimes the ticket has only the last last name, or when buying from third parties everything is joined together without whitespaces. In your case, there is an extra whitespace in your ticket. It is the same problem as mine, but the other way around.
While you may need to go directly to the counter, these situations do not present an identity verification problem, and they should issue your ticket normally.
