Googled and some say the suffix doesn't matter but there are anecdotal stories of someone with missing/misspelled middle names being denied boarding. I will try to get it corrected via CX but I worry that if that involves cancelling and rebooking, we may lose the award space. (And it will cost us $240 as it was two separate bookings for outbound and inbound flights). Is missing suffix a non-issue as some say? Or do I need to try to get it fixed? Any insight is appreciated!
Any update? How did it go?
We have the same issue in the family with the suffix and it's so frustrating because many airlines systems cannot accommodate the suffix and they are all different.
I am trying to figure out how to register my husband for JAL MileageBank account. It says spaces are not allowed and there is no "suffix" field, so I don't know where to put it.
