ie. Jane Doe -> Ajne Doe. I couldn't get US to reissue the ticket without the chance of not having the space released back into their system. Qatar has yet to get back to me.

Should this be something I'm concerned about? I'm flying from Abu Dhabi -> Doha -> Ammam and back to Dubai.

Update:

- Qatar seems adamant that I get this ticket cancelled/reissued, and they were also certain that my flights wouldn't be available again should I do that. They also said, they can't change the name on my ticket since they didn't issue it.
- US Airways @ UK Office says that this inversion should be fine, that this occurs often, although they can't recall what happened with passengers who've flown on Qatar in the past have experienced. They put a note on my reservation. I also had them add my Qatar Privilege # onto my reservation, an account registered with my name spelled correctly.

Although my flight is months out, I am forced for other reasons, to have to make reservations for other things around these travel dates. My question is, what should I do in this situation? Will they let me fly, and if so, is this going to be a big battle in Abu Dhabi/Doha/Ammam ?
