Chinese name order on ticket.
I have booked an award ticket (on JL) for a Chinese friend, but may have got the name order wrong.

Let's use this guy, Leung Long Chau, as an example.

The ticket I have bought has:

Code:
First name = "Leung"
Middle name = "Long"
Surname/last name = "Chau"
I believe what I should have used is:


Code:
First name = "Long"
Middle name = "Chau"
Surname/last name = "Leung"
I'm guessing that this is something which the Asian carriers deal with quite a bit. Is there a need to go through all the hassle of cancelling the ticket ($100 penalty since it's an AA award ticket) and reissuing it?
