Misspelled name on TK flt
Dear colleagues,
I'm going to travel from WAW to DOH in Qatar soon, and I've noticed the minor spelling mistake in my surname - Zietek, instead of Zientek. Do you think there will be any issue with this? I know that normally airlines allow to have minor spelling mistakes in the name and there are no problems. Maybe someone has similar experience?
Best regards,
Andrei

i agree...better to have it changed.
if you're lucky in most cases nobody will notice, however if they do they might refuse boarding...especially in case of the return flight it would be quite unpleasant.

This mistake will most likely not cause you any problems. I believe up to 3-4 wrong letters are acceptable by international airline standards.
Trying to get TK to change the spelling of your last name may turn out to be a real (and time consuming) challenge. I would waste much time on this.
