Name: Frederick
Name on ticket: Ffrederick
Like another post, seems like many airlines are lenient, but again, all it takes is one person that is stickler to rules to deny you, and you can do nothing about it because you have made an error, and the rule specifically states the names must match.
Even if someone can guarantee you that you have 90% success rate, I would still spend the $190 AUD.
