So, again, if anybody has continued to travel to the US in recent months using their given (but not first) forename, with or without problems, on UA or any other airline, I would be immensely grateful if you could share your experiences. I did see a rather desperate thread on the CO forum back in December (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/conti...-ueseless.html), but it fizzled out after a day without any update about how it ended.
