Hey,
Basically I booked two tickets on DY's inaugural flight from LGW to NCE next April...
During the booking, I had the option to select passengers as "male" and "female", though I don't remember at any point that they gave me the chance to select "Mrs, Miss etc." for the female passenger.
I downloaded Norwegian's iPhone app and entered my reservation - they are now displaying my girlfriend as "Mrs xxx xxx". Is this something to worry about? (The incorrect name that is, not the possibility that she secretly got married). Do I need to change it? If so, how?

I don't really think it makes a difference. The gender is included in reservations to calculate weight and balance (I believe females are calculated a bit lighter) and in certain international flights the passenger data has to be forwarded to the authorities, including the gender.
But the differentiation within the gender, for all I know it is totally irrelevant. Mrs, miss, ms, mr, dr, ... I have seen airlines where you can select things like lord and mistress and such. I don't even think it appears in your eticket or your boarding pass which will only read SMITH / JANEMRS or something. The "Miss" and such are used in email communication so they can address you right. I'd guess some doctors throw a fit if you don't address them with "Dr".
But all of this is just my good guess and I take no responsibility if the gate agent won't let your gf board unless she marries you on the spot
Now that would be a story to tell the kids.

Crikey, they obviously haven't seen some of the women that I saw in the pub last night....
Quoting Vasu (Thread starter): Mrs xxx xxx". Is this something to worry about?
No problem at all. As long as her actual name is correct you can relax.

What, automatically? Does not make sense. Some chicks are fat (or tall, for that matter); and some dudes are short or just skinny and light-like.

It does make sense, statistically speaking. Of course, you can't apply statistics to a particular person.

I'll assume that your name is John Smith and hers is Jane Doe...
If the ticket refers to Mr John Smith and Mrs Jane Doe, then you're fine. It is a bit of an oversight on the part of whoever designed DY's res system, but doesn't mean anything.
If, however, they refer to Mr and Mrs Smith then you might want to check it out to be safe.
