Hi All,

I'm trying to book a couple of flights on VX. For pax information it only has fields for First Name and Last Name. No option for middle names. Now i'm just worried if i don't put my middle name that they won't allow me to travel? As my passport and driving license has my whole name on it.

I guest there are 2 options: put in my middle names in the first name fields as well as my first name or just leave my middle names out?

Just wondering what you guys have done when booking on VX :)

Cheers,
Kenn.

Well you COULD put your middle name in with your first name in the first name field; i.e. First Name: Ben Peter BUT that would be pointless. Put your name in the first name field (that is the first name on your passport).

Legally you do not need an ID to travel domestically in the USA. If you do not have an ID you will get addtional security. People on this site will say differently but look at the laws...

Enjoy the USA. In Cairns now and it rocks!

Interested as to who will say different? You don't need Id to drive across state boundaries so why would you need it because of your choice of transport?

Thanks guys for the info. So i take it either way i should be OK? i.e. put my middle name in the first name field as well and also not putting my middle name!

Every time that I have travelled domestically by air in the USA my tickets/boarding cards have had just my first & last names on them. Never been a problem.

have a good trip.

Thanks :) I will just put my first and last name in. My passport has middle names but should be fine from everyone's experience here! :)
