Travel - Maiden name vs. Married name

[CaptainAskew 0]

Hey guys, I'm gonna try and keep this short:

We're planning a trip to see my family for a few weeks here soon and after some research online it looks like I just need my green card and the passport from my country of citizenship. What worries me is that my passport is still in my maiden name (since we did the K-1 visa and we weren't married when I got here) but my green card is in my married name.

So. What name do I book my ticket under? Logically it should be my married name, right? But then it's the whole passport thing that they always rely so heavily on... Will this be troublesome when boarding and going through customs and everything? I'm so worried and just want to do everything by the book.

Thanks in advance to any replies. Don't know what I'd do without you guys.

this is what you do.order the ticket in the same name that is on the passport it must match airline ticket and passport,to be safe bring with you your marriage certificate just in case it's needed.coming home to the u.s you use your green card at the arrival in us you should be fine

Whatever is on your ID must be on your return ticket. Call the airline if unsure.

name on air ticket must always match name on passport.

Everyone is correct, I forgot about that recently and booked my flight with my marriage name, the guy was so puzzled, luckily I had my marriage certificate with me, I have it to him and he run it by his supervisor and everything was ok

Thanks for all the replies! I will make sure to bring all kinds of paperwork they could possibly ask for and call the airline, just to be sure. You all rock.
