Emirates flight booking - name issue
Just booked a return flight from London to Dubai on Emirates.
On the first booking page after you've selected your flights, it stated put in your name as it appears in your passport. On my passport there are two names and then my surname underneath (as is this the case for most people).
So I added both my forenames but once my ticket was purchased, both my first names are merged together now. So e.g. if both my first names are John Edward, on the ticket it appears as Johnedward.
Is this going to cause an issue?

Its not an issue, normal as names on tickets don't have spaces. For reference, I only use First & Last without middle names

seems like they have something official on this now too as i got pointed to this by EK the other day
under their FAQ Booking with Emirates:
If you entered multiple first names, or multiple family names for a passenger, it is entirely normal for the names on the ticket to be joined together, even if you had entered them separately when booking online. For example: if you entered Mr John Adam Smith when booking online, your ticket will show the name as SMITH/JOHNADAMMR. This is standard airline industry practice.

I was on the phone with Emirates late one night back in June trying to have them put a space between my names. The supervisor got involved too, and they all came to the consensus that it's suppose to be that way, but it's just fine.
So, don't worry like I was!
