Having thoughts of being denied boarding or check in I called the airline (waited 45 min on hold) and they said they saw the issue but that it was "no problem" since they confirmed they have the correct passport number. This seems fishy / odd to me. I called back (on hold another 45 min) to get a different agent and they told me the same thing.
Should I believe them? I'm just having this awful feeling of them saying the info is wrong and won't let me board. Only to have to buy another ticket day of for 10x the cost.
Am I worried about nothing?
The only way to know for sure is to go to a MU ticket counter (not the easiest trick in the US) or hope what they are telling you on the phone is correct. My guess is that it is OK, since they also add your country of residence as well as your address and everything else- they actually ask for your passport information again at the payment page - they should have ‘proof’ it is you.
But again, we are talking about MU here, which is always an adventure and a bit of an unknown (although not nearly as much as they used to be!),
