I had a little trouble again, this time SLC to PVR on Delta. I don't actually do a lot of international, but it would still be nice not to run into obstacles that seem easily fixable.

This time it was the computer in SLC that gave the agent and me the problem. She had to call someone to override the computer not wanting me to board. No problem at all coming back though.

Then it hit me (takes me a while because I'm a R (the word no one is allowed to say even though it describes half the world). What if I just change my Delta name to Tom? Ticket matches passport. Bingo!

I scanned my passport to Delta and asked for the first and middle name to be changed so it matches completely and it was changed on my profile within an hour!
