Missing middle name when booking...

I've just gone to my Cancun flight and entered the passport details. I noticed then (for some reason, and done via the flying club), my middle name was missing. It inferred it should be entered as per passport. So I updated it to be correct.

Now, it won't let me access to the the bookings via future flights. I also note that I am without my middle name on my ticket. I've went back and checked the last 5 flights and never had my middle name on the ticket, yet flown fine.

I've heard of massive costs adjusting names on the ticket before. Any advice on this one? Keep quiet and it will be fine? Phone up virgin to get something tweak to get the future flights? (I've booked the seats both ways and intend to use evening checkin, so don't need to access it). Are they likely to take offense at something which absolutely nobody cared about before?

I've never had my middle name on any booking/ticket, it isn't a requirement so don't worry about it,

My passport has my middle name and I have never had it on any booking.

My bookings don't show my middle name but I've never had any problems so don't worry about it.

Ah ok. I think its the recent future flights thing, I used to click through and it was fine. I think the ESTA was fine, but now you need the booking and name on my account, its got confused...

Thinking about it, I might have had a wibble about this about 4 years ago as well... :)

Thanks all :)

This has never been a problem when it has happened to me.

On manage my booking try combining your first and middle name as one word in the first name box- sometimes worked for me.

You don't need to panic, I thought I'd messed my daughters up last time when her middle name was missing but was reassured by virgin didn't need it, only first and last need to be identical to passport
