Booking a flight with two middle names

My boyfriend and I are planning on flying internationally and have yet to book our tickets yet. The thing is, my boyfriend has two middle names and most airline sites only have a space for one of them, and they say that your passport much match your tickets completely. I have no idea what to do with this, do I not include the middle names, included one of them? Does anyone know of airline sites that allow you to enter two middle names? I really do not want to get denied at the check in. If anyone has experience with booking with two middle names I would love to hear how that went! Thank you!

I'd recommend contacting the airline's customer services helpline to see if there's a precedent for your problem..He may have 2 middle names,but I doubt if you'd be denied boarding if one of them wasn't on the boarding pass!I have one middle name,and rarely use it on forms when booking travel,and have never had a problem..

It would be better if you contact a airline consultant . THEY can assist you better in these matters.

If a man is called Stephen Michael Fredrick John Fairfield for example then he would have difficulty fitting all those names on his booking form. Therefore he could check if he could just write Stephen Fairfield. That is his name without his middle names. I know that security is strict these days so it will always be worth asking the airline involved. Good luck.
