I am about to travel to Bangkok from LAX on Friday. I actually won the trip to Thailand and its been a bit crazy getting everything together in time for my spring break, but finally I have all the details. However, I noticed a problem today and I am not quite sure what to do.

The booking was completely handled by a travel agency/booking agency in Thailand, and all the information transferred by me was handled by correspondance with the company's U.S. representative who acted as the intermediary between me and the contacts in Thailand.

Anyway, when they asked me to provide my name and my girlfriend's I spelled her first name as Josie. That's her name and is what is on her Arizona Driver's License. However, I just found out her passport has her name written as Josephine. All her other information is the same (middle and last name).

My question: Is this a major problem? I didn't handle the ticket transactions so I'm not sure if I could call Thai Airways and fix it by Friday, and I am almost positive they are non-refundable (economy restricted).

Will they let her onboard? I've never flown internationally and not sure just how strict they are when it comes to things like the first name and abbreviations, and I've been looking for an answer all night to no avail. Any help or input would be GREATLY appreciated! This whole process has been exhausting and I would really hate to have the trip ruined due to this tiny mistake.
