Hi Ladies! I just had to write quickly and encourage everyone who is taking a honeymoon to please go ahead and splurge on the travel insurance. For us it was $169. Me and FH just booked our trip to Hawaii. While me and the travel agent made the plans over the last few months I used my middle name in a social conversation manner instead of my legal first name.
Well, he put that on the travel documents because I forgot to make sure he used my first name. When I saw what happened I asked him to please switch it so there would be no trouble at the airport with what's on my driver's license.
At first the airline fought him on switching the name saying that me and FI would have to buy an entirely new plane ticket in the new name and ABANDON the first ticket with the wrong name on it, which would have put us out hundreds of dollars.
But thank God we had purchased travel insurance when we first booked everything so the agent got them to change it with no problem (one time only) and waive all penalties.
The agent said even when he made a mistake and put AM instead of PM on a ticket for him and his wife they charged them $150 per letter, so $300 to change two letters from "A" to "P!" So I cannot stress the importance of getting travel insurance enough and making sure all of your documents are in order. Now everything is ok but OMG was I freaked out!
