Nope have never been asked. But have had the checkin person comment a couple of times about Maya and I having different last names.

To be honest it's only really travelling out of america that it is normally an issue, standard practise in the US is to have a notorised letter of authorisation if only one parent is travelling with a child...it's nuts but has to be done. ]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:49:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=222119&title=passport-in-maiden-name#222119 <![CDATA[Passport in Maiden Name : Emma, do they ever ask to see...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=222031&title=passport-in-maiden-name#222031 Author: meow

I've flown Ryanair in Europe with my ticket in my full first name + married name whereas my passport has my shortened first name + my maiden name.
(My FIL booked the tickets)
Using my marriage cert as verification was sufficient and this was with Ryanair who are anal b**tards and won't let you board a flight between Ireland and England if your driving licence is out of date. (happened to my dad)


On a slight side note this morning I flew from Hamilton to Wellington and the checkin lady only asked me for my surname. No asking for my id/ff card or anything.]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 12:40:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221903&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221903 <![CDATA[Passport in Maiden Name : meow wrote: Bombshell wrote:BTW...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221901&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221901 Author: Maya

your agent wont be getting any commission off the flights anyway as Air NZ don't give commission on south pacific travel. Its not entirely your travel agents fault, but all good agents will check your passports to avoid these situations. You agent is just lucky they didn't have you calling them and stressing at the last minute. Well done for getting it sorted yourself. Have an awesome time in raro.
Def tell your agent about it when you get back]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 09:16:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221827&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221827 <![CDATA[Passport in Maiden Name : ive had this problem before too,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221771&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221771 Author: my2angels

ive had this problem before too, and yeah had to get it changed. what amazes me though is my birth name (on my birth cert) is different to my maiden name. I top my step fathers name but he has never formally adopted me or anything so my passport is in my birth name but every other peice of id i have (until I got married) was in my step fathers name and now of course i have my married name and i have never once been questioned about it... bit of a worry really when i could use any of the names!]]> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 07:22:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221771&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221771 <![CDATA[Passport in Maiden Name : LOL BS!

LOL BS!

Maybe the agent needs the no commission to be reminded to check passport names? Well I'm glad everything has been sorted quickly for ya. $50 isn't too bad in the scheme of things but it's a bit cheeky considering they don't have to pay commission either!

Air NZ charging $50 + we are having to fax the marriage cert. We don't have a fax but thankfully Andrew's parents do.

Pacific blue changed it for free over the phone.

Air NZ said they'd have to take the file over from the agent meaning the agent wouldn't get the commission????

Don't feel bad....I've seen it happen lots and the travel agent should have asked to see your passports to be sure....it was standard policy for us to ask for passports for that reason.

These things do happen though...it will get worked out though! ]]> Sun, 30 Sep 2007 16:22:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221475&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221475 <![CDATA[Passport in Maiden Name : Will do ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11136&PID=221474&title=passport-in-maiden-name#221474 Author: FionaS

If you are flying Air NZ chances are you won't be allowed on the plane, unless you get a nice check in agent but then you might not be allowed to board coming back....to be safest your ticket will have to be changed to your maiden name.

Oh and yes you may have to pay to amend the name on the ticket. Fees vary from agent to agent.

You should ring the airline and find out from them about the ticket being in a different name to the passport. You "may" have to pay a charge to have it changed to the name in the passport.
