My wife is Russian and has a Russian passport and US green card
She is flying Moscow to Istanbul to Miami

Her Russian passport expired so she applied for a new one. Her old passport has her maiden name and she updated it to her married name.
the issue being they misspelled it horribly.
it was supposed to say Vineyard but instead they put it as Vainiard.

Her green card says Vineyard. Marriage certificate says her maiden name and Vineyard
but Russian passport says Vaniard

is there any chance she can still travel? Or is there a high chance they will not allow her? Any tips or suggestions?

She already booked the flights months ago under her maiden name and was going to change to Vineyard when her passport got updated but since the Russian passport is wrong we don�t know what to do.

Middle Name on Starlux/Taiwanese Carriers: Necessary?

Not sure what this has to do with flying, I presume TK, from Moscow with a new, misspelled, last name.

It's on the airline to fix misspelled names, if they want to.

I doubt this will cause any issues at check-in. Check-in agents can rectify it if the small error becomes apparent to them (most likely it will not). Do not call the airline/TK to try to get it fixed.

But per the OP, it's the Russian passport authority that misspelled her last name.

Not going to happen. At best, it'll be caught in Moscow, if not there, then in Istanbul. If she makes it onto the Miami flight, she'll either be stuck in immigration hold or be on the next flight back to Istanbul.

She needs to get the Russian passport corrected. They are the only ones that can fix that.
