I'm sure it doesn't really matter because the data is already in the appropriate systems, but it looks funny. |
I just find it very disconcerting when on some airlines, the name information on the itineraries and confirmation emails was truncated - especially when they all seem different: KLM was fine; ANA truncated one letter; Westjet would truncate 2 letters; Air Canada doesn't truncate anything.
I am strongly recommending my children drop a middle name when they can. We never really thought about the implications of international flight.
