I too have always wondered why my name can sometimes get mangled between what I type in and what arrived on my ticket. Fascinating insight into the airline industry.
Airlines I fly with a lot I know how to type in my name into their boxes in order to generate the right ticket name. If they only have a first name, last name box where do I put my middle name and/or Jr? Some force me to pick a Mr./Mrs/Miss/etc..., and then put it on the ticket...sigh.
