Easy Jet check in query

Options
I am attempting to check in for an upcoming EJ flight to Germany in November. The app states that all passenger info must match your travel document exactly including middle names. At the point of booking only first and last name were requested. It did state that names must be as per passport, such as David rather than Dave etc, which I complied with.

Now I'm trying to check in I need to fill in my API details, it has my first name, last name as per booking pre filled in with no option to add a middle name and then I need to add the rest, Passport number, expiry date etc.

Am I missing something obvious? Hoping someone who has dealt with this scenario can advise as I know getting through to EJ advisors can be very long winded.

    I have 2 middle names I don't use, they are on my passport - just flown EasyJet no issue. Out of interest I once employed a youth with a North African herratige, can't recall the country. Each child has the same name as father but with one new first name added. By removing one name they have father, remove another - grandfather etc. Full ancestory. He could trace his family back 2000 years. I very much doubt ANY form has enough space for similar full names. He couldn't remember them anyway.

    I don't think I've ever used our middle names with Easyjet.  So long as first, last and passport numbers match you should be fine.
  • Flew to/from Spain last week on easyJet, only first name and surname were on the boarding pass.  No issues.

    Can't remember if I entered the names on the API bit though or if they were pre filled.  Did come back with a green tick once I completed it though.
