Ticket name V passport name discrepancy

byrner06 · 2014-08-03 09:37:23

Hi, I am travelling to Cancun next week via a stop over in the USA. I have just realised my middle name is on my flight ticket but not on my passport. Will this cause a problem? I have heard mixed reviews, a few friends have said I won't be allowed in to the USA and a few others say I will be ok

Do NOT mention it at the check in counter for any of your flights.

My wife had a discrepancy between ticketed name and passport, and if she had said nothing they wouldn't have noticed it at all, but when she blurted it out we ended up paying a $100 "change fee" to print a new boarding pass. Total bs, but there was nothing to be done about it then.
