I have Russian and US passports with different last names. In the past I was bying tickets with both last names on it with the hyphen and did not have any porblems.
But last year I had a problem in Germany where I spent few days on the way back to US from Russia. I bought multistop ticket: US-Russia-Germany-US. In Germany AirFrance refused to check me on my flight because I had two passports with different last names - they claimed that it is illegal. I had to buy a NEW ticket to get back to the US!

I have to fly to Russia again this year and there is no direct flight. Most likely I will have to stop somewhere in Europe. If I get ticket on my Russian name, how will I be treated in Europe espcially on the way back to US? What shall I do? I dont want to go thru this again. Please, help!
