Wrong title on eticket
has anyone had any experience on a wrong title on a eticket, my son in law wrongly put Mr instead of Mrs on our daughters booking , will she be refused boarding ? |
It won't be a problem.

You definitely sure ? |
Titles are irrelevant. They are only there because some people still insist on using them. It is a non-issue and solely there for vanity.
Let him know that for future reference, he should not include any title or honorific at all. At best it does nothing and at worst it causes needless angst. |
I complained once when they put Lord, when it should have been Count. They still let me on the airplane. I forgave them. |
BA has, or at least had at one time, an extensive list of titles one could choose from when booking online: every British title of nobility and a few non-British ones, every military rank above corporal, every religious clergy title, and more. I once thought of making myself an archbishop but decided not to. I doubt anything would have happened.

Not worth the time to search for it, but there was some guy who posted here about how much it irked him that a flight attendant addressed him as "Mr." when he is a trained physician and worked hard to get where he is.
If IATA carriers, including BA, would simply stick to the bare minimum of data fields required for a valid ticket, there would be fewer errors and people could focus on what's important, e.g. being handed a paper (or a digital image) which permits them access to a seat on an aircraft. |

Not an issue and nothing to worry about. |

I remember that one. It was solid entertainment. I think it was a she rather than a he, but that doesn't matter either.

I wanted to put “Special Master” on mine but AA apparently won’t let me. I also got ordained on the internet some years back and made a cardinal. I really should use Cardinal. I should like to be addressed as “your grace” or “your excellency” |

Perhaps they should board by protocol order. Dukes, earls, and so on.
So when royalty marry a commoner, the happy (or not) couple can't board together? What if the couple isn't married? |

. Locally there is still a tradition of honoring academic and professional titles. My colleagues share anecdotes that using titles in certain situations (such as dealing with customer service, working with banks, etc,) give them a better experience. |
Similar topic, but slightly different situation. I remember one time the SD addressed me as "Doctor" and asked me if I could assist with a medical issue if one were to arise during flight! My surname was pronounced correctly, so unless a passenger next to or near me had the same name, he was talking to the correct person (but not profession!).
I immediately corrected the SD and told him I was nothing of that sort. I later checked my account and it still showed me as "Mr.", so perhaps I may have mistakenly changed it during that booking process. I'm not sure which airlines shows honorifics on BPs, but AC doesn't, and I was flying them. It was a weird one-off. My booking also showed Mr. |
