Another Day Older (And Deeper in Debt)

Last Name: 'A'
Given Name: 'BC'

CX OLCI had it entered as

Last Name: 'ABC'
Given Name: 'BC'

A week after that i flew domestic in US, the dreaded 'SSSS' did not follow me. Had me worried for a while that i was on the list.
I have an interesting possible glitch on a SFO-HKG-HND flight on Friday.

I was able to OLCI wife and I with no problem at T-45. When I went to MMB to confirm all was well, the DOB in travel documents for both me and my wife were wrong, both 1 day before the actual DOBs. I may have fat-fingered the initial entry on the website (I seem to have a dislike/hate relationship with it) but one on the dates was correct at July 1 but showing on the MMB as June 30. I can believe blowing the month or the date, but probably not both. This means it would be a good idea to arrive at the airport early to hammer this out.

An additional item, one of my problems with the CX web site was putting in the correct DOBs and when doing a final check, having them incorrect, then fixing them.

I also have a similar flight in 3 weeks and the DOB's are (currently) correct, I will check them after OLCI.

Any idea why CX wants us to be 1 day older?
