    Is Lee a middle name or surname? This may make a difference. Had a friend with a similar problem a while back, but because they had put, for example, Tommy and the name in passport was Thomas the airline was OK with it - recognised that Tommy is often used as abbreviation for Thomas and as surname was correct it was Ok. But thiis was several years ago and I know things have tightened up since. Does the website give any advice?

    I would ring the airline NOW and ask them direct, and get the name of the person you spoke to and follow the advise they give you

    I've been up all night worrying about this, and haven't slept a wink.

    Yes, that sounds right - I haven't flown with easyjet for a while, but I'm sure we only usually use first names - I've flown when friends who I'm sure don't know my middle name have made the booking.

    Ya fine - stop panicing!

    I've booked tickets both ways: used 1st & last and used 1st, 2nd, and last. Never had any problems.

    Dont worry I have never used my middle name on any flight, even though on my passport and never had a problem, same with hubby and 2 children. Also have booked flights for friends and didn't know their middle name, so did not put down and no problems. Have flown with Easy jet and Ryan air with no problems lots of times.
