Middle names on tickets with BA partners
Hi all, just made several bookings through BA for flights on CX. One for a flight from PEK-HKG, another for a flight from HKG-JFK and a third from HKG-YYZ. I made the reservations online and no middle name was requested, so I just left it as first and last. When I called BA, they told me they would need to completely reissue all the tickets to add in the middle names. Will I have any problems with immigration if I leave it as is or should I add in the middle names? Thanks for the input!

BA never adds my middle name and I never had a problem.
By the way, I know of no airline that does include it. Maybe unless you really want them to.

Bjorns would be a good person to have a few stories on this as Swedish Passport names almost never (to the untrained eye) logically correlate to what is on the ticket causing much chaos, in particular the US of A.
