Ryanair displays last name and middle name differently than ACH request

 ACH

Ryanair returns passenger's NamePrefix, FirstName, MiddleName, and Surname in the API response. However, they do not use the MiddleName while displaying the passenger details in FR official website. Because Ryanair is not using the passenger's middle name (except for Spanish domestic flights, which is not supported through ACH), the Ryanair itinerary may reflect the name information in this order: Title, First Name, Last Name, Middle Name. It is correct in the API request and response, and in the Ryanair system.

For example, Name added through Universal API

Prefix="Ms" First="JANE" Middle="LEOKADIA" Last="DOE"

On the Ryanair Website:

Ms JANE DOE LEOKADIA

 ACH No
