Which names to book ticket

[why not1 5]

I am trying to figure out the correct names to put on my husbands ticket I am buying. They want the traditional 3 names, but on the visa is 4. They will not let me hyphenate or space the names, so putting them together will not work. So I know that many have ran into this. So what did you do?

My names never fit when I book tickets, my mum gave me too many and too long middle names...I always write my middle names as one, it looks retarded but no one has ever said anything about it.

It should be the name as it is printed in your husbands passport, the visa in for entry to the USA.

My husband bought his own ticket in Egypt. It had the same names as printed on his visa and in his passport. Is there a reason he can't buy his own ticket?

When my husband came here he wrote his first 3 legal names and it was not an issue. The airlines do not really scrutinize deeply into it as long as the major names (First, Second & Last) are on the ticket. Good Luck!

I'll see if Adam can remember when he bought his ticket 5yrs ago what he put since he had 4 names back then.

The ticket should be in his name. My husband used his first, second and last names when he booked his flight. Good Luck

My husband used his first, second then very last name and had no problem.

Same for mine. His first name then his first middle name which is his fathers first name then the family name. Omitted was the 2nd middle name which is the granfathers first name.
