Getting International Flight Ticket Without A Surname

Okay!

So you entered States and got DL done without the last name in Indian passport.

Now how about going out of the States?

Here is the thing, like US government, all other business operations in the US also demand you to have both first & last name. 

Yes, you guessed it right! Airlines do require 1st and last name on ticket which should eventually match your passport not visa and as you don't have a last name (or have a single name) on your passport, you again land into trouble. Gurrr....

 Although domestic travel in US will not trouble you as they won't necessarily ask for passport and you are good to go with your Id proof (e.g. DL, ITIN etc).

I booked 2 international tickets with 2 different airlines (British Airways & Emirates).
As usual, while booking online both airlines website asked for first & last name which should match the name on the passport.

I called the customer care to check for this and they said I have to have a last name to book the ticket because their system would not allow them to proceed with blank last name. They were sorry and hung up. Now you can imagine the level of frustration I went through. I mean seriously? Firstly, you can't enter USA easily without a last name and now you can't leave this country. Not funny for someone who faced this name mess.
I decided to call them once again and viola this time some experienced guy picked up. He was able to go ahead with the booking form without last name (usually they are authorized to do so) and was able to generate the itinerary but the ticket was not confirmed unless we make payment and since this was an exception, their system couldn't handle it well
