Hi all, i've read almost every post I can find on this issue but I am still concerned.

My first name is Terrence on my passport and I have booked the tickets in the name of Terry. As expected KLM are not interested as I booked it via Travelocity.

I have spoken to Travelocity who say I must buy another ticket, they will refund the original ticket minus a £45 admin fee. Furthermore it will take 16 weeks to refund my original ticket due to the funds being paid to the airline

Surely this is rediculous? I probably wouldn't be that fussed about making hte name change, however I am flying to Beijing then onto Hong Kong with an internal flight (Dragon Air). Seeing i'm going to China I really want my documentation to be perfect as you can imagine.

Any thoughts?


EDIT: I've also just seen this from Dragonair
