Does the name on my airline reservation have to match the name on my application?

Yes. The name submitted on your airline reservation must be an exact match to the name you provided on your application. If you use a frequent flyer account or online travel profile, ensure that your name is properly saved. If you included your middle name in your TSA PreCheck application, you must add it when booking your airline reservation.
