I’m taking my first international flight this year. I’ve got my passport and bought the plane tickets. However, I noticed that my middle name on the ticket is missing the last 2 letters. I contacted the airline and they said that middle name doesn’t have to match passport. I just want to make sure that is correct, I don’t want to get stuck at some airport because my middle name is missing 2 letters on the plane tickets.
As others have said you should be fine. A different middle name would be a challenge. But a truncated name should be business as usual.

So the deal is that they print X characters on tickets for first and last name. As someone with bizarrely long names my middle name often ends up cut in half. You should be fine - the real data associated with your ticket is saved on a server somewhere and there are cultures with multiple middle names that inevitably have far more strange circumstances than you (like names being out of order).
I wouldn’t stress about it.

I was thinking about that too, thank you for clarifying and giving me peace of mind
