Travelling within the Uk will not have been a problem as you didnt cross any borders and staff either end owuld be very familiar with the marriage certificate, however, staff at airports abroad will not be and therein lies your problem. Yes, I agree the cost is ridiculous, but it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run if you change it over, either that or you book any flights in your full maiden name so thay do perfectly match, staff at immigration couldnt care less if you are married or not, its matching names that matter and how you fele about using your maiden name |

I would book the ticket in your maiden name as teh name on the ticket should matchj your passport and the last thing you need is to get told at check-in you can't fly! |

Personally I would change it to ease my mind. You know how things are at passport control these days and it just takes one being awkward to send you back home - at what expense. £66pound is a lot of cash - but it will bring you peace of mind. Bon voyage! |

It probably didn't matter so much flying within the UK as the passport is just used as a means of identification, not as a 'licence' to gain entry into a foreign country. I would book overseas travel in your maiden name because the name on the ticket is supposed to be identical to the name on the passport. I have heard of people being refused because a name was spelt Steven on one and Stephen on the other for example. |

If your passport is in your maiden name then book your ticket in your maiden name. my friend goes by both her married and maiden name in certain situations and she recently travelled to germany in her mainden name. |

You can still use passport in maiden name. just make sure ticket name is same as passport |

As long as the name on your ticket matches the name on your passport you will be fine.
Easyjet prob only let you do this as it was an internal flight but for going on holiday and with a reputable travel agent, it will be a different story if you have two diff names. |

I think it would be perfectly okay but check with immgrations before you travel if I were you. |

It will be necessary to have your passport amended if you plan to travel abroad.
Some countries might not accept an unamended passport even if you carry your marriage certificate (you can check this with your travel agent or the country´s consulate), so it´s well worth having the name changed on your passport well in advance.

Book the ticket in your maiden name. They are far more strict now, and you have only a certain amount of time before you have to change it. I think its 6 months and then you cant travel with your maiden name and marriage certificate |
