We booked United(Copa) tickets to Lima via Houston and Panama City a couple of weeks ago. Over the weekend, we received notice of a schedule change and due to the formatting I noticed for the first time a typo in my DW's last name spelling even though it is the same as mine (we have 2 "n"s and they dropped one of them.
I called this United this am and reservations told me it is almost impossible to make the name correction given it has another airline involved--Copa is code share partner. Instead, they supposedly noted in the reservation, the correct spelling and told me to get to the airport extra early. We did also book Business Class so maybe that will help.
BUT, is what the agent told me really going to work when we check-in with passports with correct spellings, of course? I am particularly concerned when we return from Eucador (GYE). Anyone with experience and/or suggestions for other action I should be taking. Flights are the first week in Oct so we have some time.
Thanks in advance.
