I'm wondering if that is the issue. DL does that to mine and I've never had a problem. Not sure what to do. He wanted to change his seat but cannot do that unless he is checked in (or when we try to do it, it doesn't "stick). Advice needed. I don't want a crisis at the airport later today. He's headed off with friends.
And of course can't get through to UA on phone or messaging.
Merged given names and removal of spaced within last names are common

Just to confirm, his KTN is in his profile on
your account? I've forgotten to include others KTN when I create award tickets within my account in the past. He shouldn't have a problem checking in, but sometimes you don't get pre-check even when correct.
