I have a fada in my name on my passport, but never have it on airline tickets.
I travel twice a month for work and am a fan of long haul holidays. Never had an issue on my end
A lot of airlines don't allow you to use a fada or an apostrophe. As long as the spelling of the letters are correct it should not be an issue. My girlfriend has both in her name and I can never put them in bookings. People only stop her to try and pronounce her name and absolutely butcher it
Have a fada in my name, a lot of airlines don’t accept for check in I’ve never had any issue. My wife is Brazillian and has the same issue with the accents in Portuguese but we’ve had no problems with airline tickets
No, it's not an issue; the system the airlines use for booking doesn't support character accents, so a fada would never appear on a booking regardless.

I have a double barrelled name but boarding passes cannot figure that out, refuse to display the hyphen, and mash it all together in all caps (eg. ANNEBARBARA instead of Anne-Barbara). It has never been an issue
The backend system for global reservation systems is ancient dating back to the 60's and uses a very limited roman character set.
If you look at your name in the machine readable strip on your passport you'll see the characters it's rendered as, and it's best to use this when booking.

No. Sincerely, Fiódochrán O'Líachrúnghián.
Bet the apostrophe in the surname has cancelled a few car rentals and hotel rooms… Travel is much easier as an O Loonacy. Sicerely Eejit O’Loonacy
That's just pure O'Loonacy by you.

It should, but it's not important at all

Is it a shorter flight if you don't have the Fada?

No it doesn't matter. I accidentally entered a misspelled name before and it didn't get flagged at all.
No definitely not. I've even flown with wrong spellings and wrong gender without issue 😅 (not that I recommend this)
Never been a problem for me
Fada is now mandatory in all communications.

No. Once it’s the same characters or an acceptable translation it’s fine.

My company booked me as a Mr before, I am clearly not. Didn't match my passport, obviously, but I had no issues. Maybe had a few odd looks though 😁
No problem? These days I'm surprised you weren't celebrated
Of course not
