Question Flying from Kulala Lumpur to Phuket, middle name not on ticket

Hi

I am flying from Kuala Lumpur to Phuket on an Indian passport.

My First Name/Given Name has my middle name in the passport (i.e. Nadia Jane). In my ticket I have only added First Name as Nadia and Surname the way it is. My second name or middle name is not mentioned in the ticket.

Has anyone flown this route and had a similar situation? Do i need to add my second or middle name in the ticket as well?

My Krabi to Bangkok and Bangkok to India flights also don't have my second name, just first and surname.

I am sorry for repetitive questions in this forum, but I couldn't find a case with the same country combination.

Your response is highly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Nadia

Hi Nadia,

I rarely have my middle name on my ticket. Occasionally, when my ticket is an AF ticket, my first and middle name will be merged, firstmiddle last, no space between my first and middle. I've never had a problem with US or French customs/immigration/security. I recently flew PG KUL-USM and my middle name was not on the boarding pass, and no problem. Best of luck and have a wonderful trip!

Regional carriers in Southeast Asia generally do not require middle name matching for generally western sounding names (or western passports). If your name is actually Nadia (Jane) Gomes, you shouldn't have any trouble.

I've seen this be a problem for Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese - though it can usually be corrected without a fee with a lengthy visit to the ticket counter before checkin.

Thank you everyone for taking the time out and responding to a question that is probably asked over and over again on this forum.

I feel more confident to travel now
