Name on booking not exactly the same as on passport ....Problem??

I've just noticed that the booking my company travel agent made for tomorrow with Emirates does not have exactly the same name as on passport. the letters are all there in the right order but they appear to lost the space between first & middle name. So instead of Peter John the booking says Peterjohn. Any clue if this is an issue?

No issue. I've had that a few times. Never been pulled up or even mentioned.

I too have had this many times - first and middle names joined together is something that EK system does a lot of the time. Never had a problem with it.

This happens across all airlines, Im not sure why. But its common to see first and middle names joined without a space on the booking, but the boarding cards issued at checkin generally have them separated.
