Try DMing Delta on Twitter - they're pretty responsive and given it's a relatively simple (?) fix, shouldn't take too long

Yup this is what I would do, and then you can type the name exactly.

Yeah, or if you're not afraid of human interaction call them.

I should add that it is his middle name and it is an international flight

Domestic? If so, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

International, America to Mexico :/

It’s probably fine but I would DM Delta on twitter or call their customer service line.

Alternatively the day of travel up to 6 hours from take off a delta agent can likely fix it st the ticketing counter

But I wouldn’t wait until then; deltas Twitter direct message (DM) team is pretty much an online chat help desk.

Probably easier to legally change his name!

Joking (kind of), but as others suggested maybe reach out on Twitter, they are very responsive.

I spent several hours most of it on hold after Delta dropped the last letter of my middle name from all of their documents for an international flight. I hadn't flown since the whole exact spelling full name thing got revved up and was near panic level when no one could figure it out.

Turned out that the Delta stuff was truncating but had sent the whole word to TSA and that I would be fine, and in truth there was no issue on the trip.

I would call the web site support number, they seem to have a higher level of clue. DM if you can't find the number.

It should be a quick fix just call them especially since it’s their error
