I booked my wife and son on PR MEL-MNL-LAX return in J.

Not sure how, but looking at the reservation/PNR with PR, my wife's first name is missing one letter ("Rache" instead of "Rachel"). Everything else is fine.

Is this likely to be an issue at checkin? And if so would it cause her entire ticket to be cancelled or for her to be denied boarding? Or could they just edit the first name to add the letter?

Or do you contact Amex (via whom I made the booking) and ask them to change it?

If this worst case in either scenario that her ticket is cancelled and have to be rebooked (or changed with accompanying diff in fare plus change fees)? If so do I play the odds and hope they just add the letter at checkin?
