Mr/Mrs mistake

Hello everyone, first of all sorry if this is not the correct place to post my thread, im just new and overwhelmed by such a huge forum

I am travelling from Málaga, Spain (AGP) to Helsinki, Finland (HEL) on Friday with Finnair, and my e-ticket has my correct name and surnames but a "Mr" instead of a "Mrs" or "Ms". Do you know if this can cause any problems at check-in? I phoned and they said it's not an issue at all, but you know, Im pretty paranoid, I travel to spend Christmas time with my boyfriend and last thing I want is to have problems at the airport. I would be glad if you could tell me your experiences about this matter. Thanks to everyone

welcome to Flyertalk, myrkyllinen!
You're flying within Schengen, which means there is no passport control to go through, and your data will only be checked by the airline, which is obviously reasonable enough to not consider this a problem.

Should not be a problem

This happens to Mrs. Ron all the time. I guess there is just the right amount of letters so that the "s" in "Mrs" get truncated. Never had a problem. (These are domestic USA flights but I would think it would not be a problem anywhere.)

My first name ends in "dr" and that sometimes gets changed into a title by res systems. AFAIK 3 incorrect letters are allowed.
