I booked a flight on the 13th August 2013 and booked it without my middle name, but shown as my last name in my passport. I have contacted Etihad local office in Sweeden who have said I will have to cancel my tickets, which is non refundable and re-book. This is really not an option as I am an student and is returning back to Australia with my 1 year old child, so would not be able to find the funds again.
..................I have since received a reply to say they can’t change my surname on the ticket
but they have put a note on the system for the staff to see at check inn. Will it be enough to travel with out my middle name as I am traveling with my son that has all the right names?
(Will I have to check in at all 6 airports return in total or just the once either way?)
I am panicking now, as I am worried that I will be stooped when I travel through security and customs I will probably be refused, as they don’t have the check in desk system inform of them with the note on it to explain the situation.
I do think it would be ideal to have the ticket reprinted with my hole name as I have to be back in Australia by this month, as I am waiting on a new visa. If I cant get there this mean that I can not return to Australia and my son will not see his father for a long time.
I would be more than willing to pay a SMALL fee for the surname change.
Any advice would be very helpful.
