Hello and thank you in advance for any help you can give.
I am trying to be pro-active and avoid a possible ticketing problem for a flight to Portugal later this year. My husband is a naturalized citizen and travels on a US passport. He is originally from Asia and has only 1 name. On his passport it is listed as his last name. The line for his first name is blank. We have traveled out of the country in the past by air but at the time I was able to leave the first name line blank. I can no longer do that. I have contacted the airlines we plan to travel on to see what we should enter in the first name field as I know the passport and ticket need to match. One response was to enter Mr. Another representative said to simply enter the same name twice. Another said to enter No First Name in that line. Does anyone know what woudl be the correct way to do this or know where I might be able to go to find an answer? We have tried, unsuccessfully, to add a first name to the passport in the past but it is a bit complicated to legally change his name.
