You name it...

 

All US airlines including Spirit,  Foreign carriers such as Lufthansa, Aerolineas Argentina, Air Asia, Aerosvit, Lot Polish, Ukraine International, Vueling, Asiana, KLM, Austrian, Air Canada, so many more I can't remember

Exactly my point.

 

Technically, the airline is correct, your name on the ticket MUST match the ID.  However, it is a simple thing to fix on the spot.  And any reputable airline would.

 

Never heard of WOW until this thread.  That should tell you something,

And this is what happens when one books a flight on a third-rate LCC airline.  Would never have happened on a US airline.

I've heard of them once before, I guess they offer really low fares. Regarding US airlines - if I recall correctly, every time I book a flight there is a pretty obvious statement saying the names need to match. Same thing when we booked our cruise. It's hard to miss, at least for me.

You've been lucky because they can deny you.

They're kind of like Ryanair and Norwegian. Lite budget, you get what you pay for type of airline. Good if you want to save money and you're not flying that far. Never flown with them personally but that's the impression I've got. Their airplanes also have pretty funny registrations too like TF-DAD and TF-MOM.
