Help! booked ticket under wife's married name
« on: October 01, 2017, 05:42:07 PM »
Emergency at the airport and the ticket is in wife's married name. Name on passport is maiden name. No time to get another passport. Any one know anything to do?

First try to call the airlines, you might end up on a nice agent that can change the name (unlikely) or leave a note on your reservation.
Bring the original marriage certificate, even better if you can also provide an ID with the married name. No guarantees but you'll have better chances.

yes. As long as you don't scan it by the gate

ETA by an international flight they might check your passport again when you board. So it might not work

Yup. Didn't even ask them to. I told them that the ticket didn't match the passport, and they told me it needs to. I told them last year we brought a marriage cert and had no issues. The CSR said that the policies may have changed, but they will change it. Not 10 min later we were on our way.
