Is it okay if I have my first and last name on my airline ticked, even though my passport has first, middle and last? I didn't think about adding my middle name in when I bought the tickets.

It is more important that your ticket first and last name matches your passport. Some have been tripped up if they typically use a nickname (My wife, Cathi vs Catherine) or worse if they use a middle name as their common name, or worst case, if their common name does not appear on their passport (son-in-law goes by Mike, which is an un-official middle name he picked up but does not appear on his passport)

A lesson learned for me several years ago: I wound up having to buy a whole new ticket wich USAir later reimbursed me for.
Had my tickets mailed to "Bill", but my correct middle name is William.
They refused to let me board unless I spent another 550.00 for a new ticket.
Bite the bullet and use the name wich appears on your passport just AS it appears on your passport....
even if it's Aurelia Hortense Tulpenzwiebel. :)
