Middle name issue with Cathay pacific
Hi I just booked my flight through a travel agent called fly365.
I didn't put my middle name and now I am freaking out about not being able to board the flight. I am flying from Melbourne to Mumbai. The middle name is on my passport and I didn't realise this is such a big issue with Cathay pacific?

I’ve been told by a CX agent before, it only matters when you require a visa to get into the country you’re arriving and the ticket needs to match exactly the visa in the passport (ie with all names), but not a problem if visa is not required to enter the country you flying to.
If in doubt, just call CX.
