Name shortened on ticket
Not strictly a BA question - but I have a booking on the FLR mistake fare - incorporating sectors on CX as well as EY and AZ.
However I accidentally put my shortened name on the ticket (e.g. Fred rather than Frederick when my passport says the latter).
Will this be a problem to travel?

Extremely unlikely, I'd say, as you clearly are who you say you are. I certainly wouldn't be calling up to try and get it changed if the circumstances are as you describe them ...

Can't you re-enter APIS information anyway?

My passport has my full middle name. I have not purchased a plane ticket within memory that had more than my middle initial. (I've purchased a whole lot of plane tickets in that period.) I have never, ever had a problem for that reason.
