When our reader was told to re-book a return flight due to a spelling mistake on the booking, our expert stepped in

Here is this week’s question:
I am travelling from London to Brisbane with my wife and our baby son for a wedding, stopping in Los Angeles to break the journey. We booked the flights through online agent MyTrip as it came up with a much cheaper itinerary involving fewer airlines. The ticket was issued by Austrian Airlines but we will be flying with United Airlines and Qantas.
A few days ago I was collating all the documents and noticed that my wife’s surname was spelled Smth instead of Smith.
