Article: Boarding-pass snafu leaves traveler at the gate

Lewis J. Gould suspected trouble when he printed out his boarding pass for a Delta flight booked through Expedia, and saw that it listed his name as "Use Profile of Lewis J Gould."

Gould, 89, was planning to travel from his home in Saginaw, Mich., to Phoenix, for his brother's 100th birthday.

"The minute the woman checking me in (at security) went to find another officer, I knew I had a problem," Gould recalled. "She looked at the name on my driver's license which reads "Lewis John Gould," and looked at my boarding pass and said, "You can't fly with that."
