His SM number is attached to the reservation and the trip shows properly on his account page, it’s just that his name shows that extra letter. I’ve never seen this before but is this something to call in about to correct, or will it not cause issues? Don’t really want to call during meltdown time but will if it’s a risk for issues at flight time.
edit: this is for an international trip, not domestic, if that matters.
Yes this happened to me as well recently when using an eCredit to book and added 2 extra letters before my last name. Called and was easily able to get it fixed (pre-meltdown). It was odd as the extra letter was not there during booking or in the original eCredit so it was some sort of glitch (that’s DL lovely “premium” IT for you).
