My middle name on my passport is missing one letter, so different from my ticket. Will this be an issue? Doroty vs Dorothy

3You should be able to get your passport reissued for free if the mistake was made by the passport office.– lambshaanxyCommented Apr 1, 2015 at 2:10

Is the passport or the ticket right?– JoErNanO ♦Commented Apr 1, 2015 at 10:01

@JoErNanO The ticket is right, according to "on my passport is missing one letter".– Volker SiegelCommented Apr 1, 2015 at 10:43

There is a good answer at the question Middle name missing on flight reservation, API needs middle name– Volker SiegelCommented Apr 1, 2015 at 10:51

This should be fixed and the link changed to @VolkerSiegel's -- the linked answer is last name but this question is about middle name.– user4188Commented Apr 1, 2015 at 14:26

Most likely not a problem but at least in one case Passenger refused flight over missing letter on airline ticket -- but the title is sensational if you read carefully all the airline said they can't guarantee the connecting airline won't have a problem.
This thread reports a number of cases when this hasn't been a problem.
This forum post says
Turns out I've been flying with different middle names on my [driving licence] and passport for years. Tickets match passport, but I've often showed my DL and no one has batted an eye.
Summary: I would call the airline especially if you are connecting.

1Hmmm... I do not know what a DL is - but independant of that, I would expect that it's only relevant that the passport and the ticket match, nothing else - simply because only these two should be required at the airport - or am I missing something? Commented Apr 1, 2015 at 10:49

DL is driving license. Often it is good enough if it's not international flight.– SkiCommented Apr 1, 2015 at 12:05
