Answer summary
A traveler is concerned about their Saudia Airlines ticket showing 'Mrs' instead of 'Mr', despite the ticket stating male. They have had difficulty contacting the airline for clarification. Various commenters advise that it may not be a significant issue, suggesting that as long as the name is correct, it should be fine. It's recommended to arrive early at the airport to discuss the matter with airline staff and potentially change the prefix if needed. There are mixed opinions on how serious the issue may be, especially considering cultural sensitivities regarding gender seating on flights to Saudi Arabia.

This happened on my wife’s boarding pass. Mrs was the last word, but they ran out of spaces for letters, so the s was omitted. It wasn’t a problem. It’s possible this is the same…

Failing that you'll have to sit in the segregated area reserved for women, usually on the roof.

Should not be an issue. Just tell them that it’s personal and you have not decided yet. It’s common in Thailand.

Just pretend your confused and don’t know if your a man or a lady.

Maybe you can go to the airport counter a few days before your trip and ask to change be it. Go when they aren’t busy.

This could actually be a problem, as no Saudi woman will sit beside a male passenger not belonging to the family, it happened to me once and I just had to change seats.

This happened to my girlfriend with another airline, Norwegian Airways I think. When I contacted them, they basically said I shouldn't have bothered even calling them, as long as the name is correct who cares. I guess, when you think about it, most passports and IDs don't even include the prefix at all

OP@Kent *******
thank you. You made me lose my stress.

I don’t know the answer but my guess is that it won’t be an issue.
