name on flight booking details

[muchlovex]

hi
my sister is flying from Scotland to London with Easyjet. I have checked her booking and she has accidentally spelt her name with a treble S, rather than double S. Her name is Alessandra but she's spelt it as Alesssandra.

Her passport is spelt correctly with the double S.

Do youi think she will get stopped?

I find it highly unlikely that this error would cause any more than a smile if it ever gets noticed -it is such an obvious typing error and (I assume) this relates to her first name and not her last (which is something easyjet staff are more likely to feel is what is important. Should it ever be mentioned then I suggest your sister simply laughs and says something like "Fancy that - cramp in the S typing finger".

She could contact Easyjet to let them know so there is no problem with the booking when she gets to the airport.

I doubt they would have an issue but just in case you get someone who decides to make an issue of it.

I wouldn't advise you contact them. They make a lot of their money by charging exhoribatant amounts of money to charge minor details.

I would think that with such a long name, she will be ok. They seem identical if you have a quick glance at the two names .

it has happened to my friend who is a Catherine, they have put in through as a K not a C, they say it's ok , and as long as her passport is the right spelling , it should be

Squarebear is correct - there are things in easijet's on-site software that can be said to actually prevent you from spotting an error in your booking. Because there is no such thing as through-booking (i.e. deliberate linkage of a chain of sectors) when you are making a booking where you transit and then get on a second flight you can get yourself into an error making what amounts to two separate bookings, all under the pressure of knowing you may complete one successfull but find the fare has risen on the second or (worse) it is full (so now you can't get to your destination). I made an error recently, the software picked up an anomaly but flashed a completely misleading pop-up message. I have pointed out the problem (which I verified by repeatedly part-making the same booking) but easijet have not seen fit to reply. The error cost me £65 - nice little earner. I still think your sister should simply go to her flight, she is in my view highly unlikely to encounter any problem at all because, in my experience, their airport staff are actually very reasonable and frequently helpful people. This is such a small and obvious typing error that it would be extremely petty to make an issue of it (if they should notice - unlikely).

She doesn't actually need the passport if she has some other form of ID acceptable to easyjet - driving licence for example

With Ryanair, yes. With Easyjet, no.

My friend Deborah once booked in as Debbie. They told her off but still let her board the flight.
