My dad and I are supposed to fly together to Singapore. He has a foreign name but uses the anglicised version for everything in the day-to-day business. Everyone calls him by that name, etc. I had to book the flight tickets. And… used the anglicised version. Which is two letters off. Three, depending on how you count. (One letter gets replaced by two different letters.)

He HAS contacted the airline and booking service, he HAS a mail that says it’s fine, they can change it. He HAS it printed and with him.

The lady at the service desk still said that it couldn’t. Despite it being the right passport number and last name, which is RARE, there are only two families in our entire country with that, AND him being a premium member at that air line.

TL;DR: my dad might not be able to get on the plane, because I used the wrong name.

Edit: IT GOT FIXED!! One to one and a half hours later, he finally got the name changed!!
