I purchased tickets in August for travel from the US to Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan. I purchased the ticket for my wife using her maiden name. In December we got married and my wife has changed her name on her license and Social Security card. She has not changed her name on her passport. I called Alaska Airlines and they said that they could not change the name on the ticket and not to get a new passport with her new name. They said that as long as the passport matches the name on the ticket, my wife would be fine. My concern is that we will land in Thailand, Japan, or Hong Kong only to be sent back home by a customs agent unhappy that my wife did not get a new passport. Do custom agents have name change info in their data bases? Is this likely to present a problem as we enter these countries? Should we bring along a certified copy of our marriage license? I don't like to take risks and this is causing me to lose some sleep! Please advise. Thanks!
