Fun times with the same name
Extended family traveled to the same place this weekend for celebration. Father and adult son have same name. Note they are not on the same reservation, did not book together, etc. They have their on frequent flyer numbers and KTNs in their reservation. Somehow UAs system attached the fathers birthdate to the sons reservation, so son got rejected at security on the way here. Had to go back, get everything fixed. Father was already through security no issues. Father flying home today - birthdate is now messed up on his reservation too.
Its given us a laugh this weekend.

Someone with my same name was also flying to LAS from LAX, albeit I was connecting for a segment run while the other guy is flying nonstop. Needed assistance due to delayed flight, and the agent pulled up the wrong record, and made the assumption that I was doing nonstop.
