Middle Name Missing - Reward Booking - Vietnam

Airports, Transfers & Logistics

Hi guys, just wondering if you guys had any advice or experience on this scenario:

  • Booked a reward flight to Vietnam, on Vietnam Airlines (using Virgin Atlantic points)
  • Middle Name is missing on the booking (when booking, it literally just says First Name, Last Name)

Understand the eVisa has match exactly with the passport, but any issues with the ticket missing the middle name?

Unfortunately, it seems like there’s no way to add the middle name from either Vietnam Airlines or Virgin Atlantic without cancelling (but as you can imagine all the seats are gone)

Welcome @dsar,
I’ve had a similar experience with Emirates (Booked on Qantas website using Qantas FF point). My middle initial somehow ended up in the firstname field. They were able to amend it at check-in for me.

If it was me, I’d be trying to get some sort of written confirmation from either Virgin Atlantic or Vietnam Airlines that you’ll be fine to still fly etc… as it can sometimes be up to the discretion of the check-in agent as to how it all pans out.

Best of Luck! :flight_departure:
