Continental Airline Tickets

Help! Misspelled name while booking flights!?

I recently booked (through Priceline) two flights with American Airlines and Continental Airlines but I accidentally added an extra E to my name. I called Priceline and they said they'd already changed it through the airlines but then I called the airlines and they said it hadn't been changed and that they couldn't change the name because it would cancel the reservation through Priceline. I called Priceline again and they said they couldn't change the name on the actual ticket or itinerary but that they'd sent a message to the airlines advising this name change and I'd still be able to board the plane. Please tell me if they will let me on the plane or if I'm screwed? The name is just off by one letter but I'm pretty sure it makes a difference anyway.

  1. It is so minor I would not worry about it. When you check-in for your flight, just show up a little earlier and tell the ticket agent. They can go ahead and make that correction.
  2. If it is an obvious mistake then you will be fine. I have checked in many Catherines with Katherine passports in my life.
  3. Its minor. Once you go to the airport, the Continental and American representative should let you go. They'll tell you to make sure you don't do it again.
