I don't think the lack of a middle name would be an issue to fly and I would not call.
just to advise - lack of middle name on NH *IS* an issue apparently. So yes, they’d need to cancel and re-issue the ticket.
generally speaking, availability is back on the system almost instantaneously. But, as previously mentioned, this is not always the case.
I have experienced this at least 7/8 times in the past 12 months, and it is why I am VERY SPECIFIC when I talk to VS agents (most of whom are extremely good and diligent), that they must please ensure they check the middle name is on there before the ticket is issued.
Weirdly, on a BA issues JL ticket, I had no problems with lack of middle name.
