Since the US does not have immigration exit controls, a warrant for the ticket is not likely to affect your outbound trip. It will probably pop up during the federal inspection upon return to the US. Unless you reenter the country at an airport in the same state where the warrant was issued, I doubt that you will be taken into custody at the point of entry. Most states do not initiate extradition proceedings for misdemeanors and infractions.
All that being said, take care of the ticket before you start your trip. The warrant will be removed from the system almost instantaneously.
