Should I book the ticket in my maiden name?

[DanielParul 50]

I am travelling to India in October for my brother's wedding. I was going to book the ticket however, have a slight confusion. My passport is in my maiden name and the greencard is in my married name. With which name should I book my ticket so I will not have any hassle while traveling?

book the ticket in whatever name you will use for ID purposes. for international travel that is typically the passport

So when I reenter the US and show them my greencard, will I need my marriage cert to show I am the same person??

They would have both your names on file I presume. The single name from when you filed and the married name they issued the card in.

Enjoy the trip~

that has nothing to do with what name you put on your airline ticket, but yes you should have that document available... When my wife re-entered a few weeks ago they did not even want to see her greencard....

Book ticket using name that is shown in passport, airline personal compare ticket with passport and if they don't match the wont let you fly.

For the past 3.5 years now, I have traveled with my passport in my maiden name, my tickets in my maiden name, and my US ID (immigration and state DL) in my married name, and a certified copy of my marriage certificate. Have not had any troubles in the 5 trips I have taken.

Thanks a lot. I booked the ticket in my maiden name. Was just a bit confused. Can't ever be too careful with immigration...
