Hi all, I have a reward flight booked BNE - BKK on TG then BKK - JFK via TPE on BR. I am a bit worried that the name on my e-ticket is Paula Gibson, not Paul A Gibson. Anyone had this problem before? If I was flying United metal I wouldn't mind so much as they issued the ticket.
Thanks.
 
You have 24 hours after making the booking to cancel/amend the ticket, so I suggest you make use of it within that 24 hours window. Just ring up UA to change it.

I booked a while ago, only noticed while I was selecting seats on the EVA Air website. Flight is next week.
 
UA always merge my partners first and middle names (just looked at two upcoming confirmations for UA and 1 for Delta, all have them as one name). Never been an issue. First and middle are typically on the same line of the passport anyway, nobody has even even taken a second glance.
