This may appear to be a daft question.....

but when I book a flight, say on easyjet.com, have I got to put in my full name, John Charles? Can I get away with putting in J Charles?
This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.

    Well I guess it depends because when I book hotels for example I put my first initial and then my last name but when it comes to flying..ALWAYS put your full name!!!

    For ALL airlines it's a very good idea to use the name that is on the photo-id you are going to use.

    Full Name for certian
    Anything that SOME of these airlines can {and will use} to get more money out of you they will and if the ticket and passport ect do not match 100% they can refuse to fly you until you get the correct ticket {with all the extra cost and hassle DONT TAKE THE CHANCE!!!!

    You haven't told us why you would want to just be your initial?
