This may be a stupid question....
 

...but here goes.

I'm planning a trip to Europe in two weeks (I haven't purchased ticket yet). I was recently married and my passport is still in my maiden name. My driver's license was changed and is in my new married name. Since I don't have time to change my passport can I fly under my maiden name and just use my passport as ID? Or, do I have to use my driver's license as well? The TSA web site addresses what acceptable ID is for domestic flights but not for international. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this same situation. Thank you for any input!

My wife always travels under he maiden name as that is what her passport shows. You shouldnt have any problems. Now, if you have a frequent traveler program you are applying your miles to and it is under your married name that can be a pain etc but you will be ok to travel. The main thing is that your passport etc matches the name on the ticket.

Using your passport with your maiden name will not be a problem as long as you make sure that your ticket is also in your maiden name.

That's what I thought. Works out for my ff programs as well because I haven't changed my name on those accounts either. Thanks for your quick responses! :)

Remember not to produce your driver's license with the new married name on it. Avoid giving the screeners any reason to deny you boarding. Some people have complained on the security forum that when they present passports at the checkpoint, they are asked for driver's licenses instead - if this happens, tell them you have no other form of identification and that a passport is a government-issued photo ID.

You'll be fine. Many couples do the same thing when they go on honeymoon :)

Take any paperwork just in case

Have the tickets in the same name as the passport. You should be fine. Just in case, bring the marriage license to connect one name to the other.
