My wife and kids, on the other hand, have their middle names on their passports. We’ve always entered all 3 names in their respective fields and (knock on wood) haven’t had any issues. Are you suggesting they should simply omit their middle names despite appearing on their passports?
My middle name is on basically everything... except PNRs.

With 1A, whenever AC swipes my passport, it results in my middle name being printed on the BP. And that's fine. But I don't do it intentionally. Airline agents often say the name on the booking must 100% match your passport, but ... it doesn't.

I've flown many airlines, entered/left many countries, and never had an issue with just Scott Kennedy.
