Hi all,

Next week will be my first international flight experience.

Here's the thing.
My Full Name In IC is Mohd Saleh Bin Ramdan @ Ramzan (example)

So the name at my booking ticket is Mohd Saleh/Ramdan
But at my passport the name is Mohd Saleh Bin Ramzan.
There's another page in the passport stated that "The bearer also known as Mohd Saleh Bin Ramdan.

Will there be any issues when I boarding the flight? As the name on ticket & passport is different?

Thank you.

I think you will not be able to use the auto boarding pass machine. you will need to go to counter for a human to process it. i had a similar problem one time when my travel agent put my first name as my surname so the machine gave an error. this is fine in most airports but heathrow was a problem for me because they only had 1 counter for manual processing (which is fukin ridiculous) and there were many ppl with issues with their passport so the queue was absurdly long.

Can clarify why different name in father?

this is quite common for older generation malays. malay names are arabic in nature so some of the pronounciations arent spellable in the latin alphabet. at some point, someone 'smart' thought it was a good idea to put '@' to indicate it could be spelled one way or another.
