What would happen if the 2 forms of ID did not match exactly? I am running into a situation where we are going to take a vacation in Germany. My passport says "Doggy Dooright Daddy" and my DL says "Doggy D Daddy". Continental only knows me as "Doggy D Daddy" and issued my ticket as such. I called CO and they confirmed that the ticket has to match the Passport, and changed the ticket to "Doggy Dooright Daddy", but said that I would not get One Pass miles for the flight as they only know me as "Doggy D Daddy". I would have to send in a letter, along with a Birth Certificate, and get a new One Pass credentials, so I could get my miles.
I tried to defuze the situation somewhat as my DL was up for renewal. In NJ, you can only get a DL with a middle initial, so from now on, I will have to use my Passport for ID when I fly. Kind of sucks! Oh well!
