No space between middle and last name on flight booking

    Hi, I booked a flight in aerlingus and just now I realised that my middle and last name appear like just one word.
    For example: MR FIRSTNAME MIDDLENAMELASTNAME

    I'm pretty sure that I wrote them separated, I checked at least three times.

    I wonder, is it going to be a problem? I haven't issued the boarding ticket yet, I've just booked. Is it possible to change the name on the website before issuing the ticket? Should I wait to the airport's check-in so they can fix it there right before getting on the aeroplane?

    It's not a spelling mistake, it's their system's limitation.

    Just ring them - it's a simple typo, so they should have no problem changing it.

    In fact, you'd probably be fine at the airport even if you didn't change it, but to be extra safe, give them a ring!

    Exactly. Some booking systems mush things together, and that's fine. you won't have an issue.

    Not an issue, most airlines and handling agents will allow 1-3 Letter mistakes.
    Eg ( Petter Moore instead of Peter Moore which can be a typo or when flights are booked by others for you and names are spelt wrong. Jason Burne instead of Jason Byrne if you catch my drift.

    Happened me last year (July) after booking a flight through ebookers.ie - rang the helpdesk and they said it would be fine and it was. No problem at all at the airport. Seems to be a common occurance with some booking systems. I generally leave out my middle name now unless it's specifically requested or recommended for entry to certain countries
