Hello everybody , I’m a new member and I need advice please , When I booked my Eva flight via Skywings I filled the form in online and due to the fact I have 2 middle names the form wouldn’t allow me to add them without spaces , therefore on my E-ticket my first 3 names are condensed into one word , I am wondering if this could cause me any problems at check in or passport control .any advice is appreciated Tia .

For an accurate response to prevent everything going tits up at the airport, you should be directing the problem to either Eva Air themselves or Skywings.

Telling immigration/checkin as they refuse you boarding that a guy on an internet forum said it would be ok isn't going to wash!

The name on your ticket won't match the name on your passport.  Whether this causes a problem is at the discretion of the ground staff.  Immigration and customs are generally not interested in your ticket except to check for whether you have an onward flight booked.

I know this because the last time we went to Thailand the travel agent I used misspelled my wife's name on her ticket, replacing an "m" with an "n".  That error is pretty subtle and I doubt all of them caught it, but the American ground staff for Asiana did before our trans-Pacific leg.

ANA fused my first and middle names on my tickets for 12 years. I kept expecting a problem but never was one on that issue.  However at check-in at Dulles the agent refused boarding because I had no onward ticket. After a few tense minutes a senior staff arrived understanding what a Retirement Visa was and cleared. Maybe have a chat with Eva?. As always with anything to do with travel have a plan b.

years ago we went to Rarotonga via Auckland.  We booked the flights with my wife having her married name  but her passport was in her former name.  They weren't going to let her on the plane in Auckland because they wouldn't let her into the Cook Islands as the names didn't match. In the end the let us on and we worried all the way there.

When we landed the really relaxed immigration official didnt even look at the passports just stamped them and said Haere Mai.

Very lucky, don't try that on a Japanese airline , those people are very strict with the rules.
