Does salutation matter?
 

Does it matter what salutation is on your ticket? I assume no as your DL/passport doesn't list a salutation.

Thanks!

At the risk of oversimplifying things, the absence of a salutation will rarely cause a problem, but the presence of the wrong salutation often will.

I got a salutation on my United Airlines account, hence tickets and boarding passes include it. I sent them an email, long time ago, never got them to change that from my account.

On the other hand, nobody ever asked me anything about it. Passport doesn't have it.

Sorry to be pedantic, but you mean "honorific", not "salutation". "Mr.", "Ms.", "Mrs.", "Miss", "Dr.", "Prof.", etc. are all honorifics. There's no salutation on a ticket unless for some reason it says "Dear Mr. Smith".

Also, in my case it is in Spanish, I don't remember adding that to my UA account, but whatever. I'd like to have it deleted, because it looks weird, it is "SRA" meaning "MRS" in Spanish. I'm a single woman, never married and I'd like to have it deleted, because it looks like this:

SMITH SRA LAURA on tickets and boarding passes.
My name on my passport is (this is an example, not my real name): LAURA ANDREA SMITH. Well, I think first and last name and photo are enough proof of identity in my case, and it is not really important, otherwise airlines would take care of that (as I said I sent UA an email -because I cannot change it from my account- but they didn't change it either).

No No - please be pedantic. The English language has been butchered beyond words.

Thank you for the correction.

:) Thanks for pointing that out. I think it looks weird, in my case at least.

I am not Ms.
 

Honorifics:

I am so dazzled when filling out a form abroad--Europe or India etc--and there is a choice of honorifics...Dr, Professor, Lady, Rev, Sir, Miss, Mr. and so forth. It's tempting to borrow one.
I am not happy, however, that in US often the choice is between Mr and Ms.
It's all very politically correct as Ms is supposed to cover all honorifics for women. The only problem: I don't use Ms and never will. It sounds horrible...Mizzzz-erable...for starters. And it's a made-up abbreviation from somewhere in the sixties when someone had the 'great' idea of avoiding the distinction between Miss and Mrs.
I don't use any honorific at all. If there's a 'choice' on a firm, I ignore it.

Thanks. I never realised this.

The list of dozens and dozens of options provided during BA Executive Club signup was literally a textbook case of bad web usability. It's improved somewhat now that they list the most common honorifics at the top, although the list still includes such gems as Air Commodore, His Majesty, Datuk Seri, and Embajadora.

I have no response to the actual OP, but I just wanted to point out the irony in this statement. :)

honorifics--up for grabs
 

...YES...it is always tempting in this case to become 'Your Majesty' or 'Captain' or 'sir' just for the flight.

love it...so much more interesting than the dreadful 'Ms.' (mizzzzz--so ghastly) they try to foist on women.

It's missing Lieut Governor. This actually perturbed a former boss of mine.

My name ends in -dr which some systems take to be the title in the absence of another one.... so I've been called Dr. ... a number of times. Got me an upgrade once :).

Hmm... Air Commodore rjm656s. I like the sound of that. :)
