Help please!! Honeymoon and airline - bad situation!!
I was married in February. DH and I got very sick, so I couldn't go on my honeymoon to Jamaica. We postponed it until July (had to pay $100).
Here is the situation: I originally booked my honeymoon under my maiden name b/c the honeymoon was so close to the wedding. However, we have an Italy cruise booked for 7 days after we return from Jamaica. The flight and cruise are both booked in my new married name.
The airline will not change my maiden name from the Jamaica ticket. I have argued, begged, pleaded, and spoken to a supervisor, they will not change it. There are no other available seats for this time to go, and if I cancel my ticket and try to rebook, they say the tickets may not come up as available again (long story with the reason for that).
Does anyone have any suggestions with this??? I don't want lose all the money - we already paid thousands of dollars for our hotel in Jamaica!

Do you have any id with your maiden name on it? You will be fine....jus tbring extra paperwork...passport, photo ids and your marriage license to show both names....it will be fine. This is my 2nd marriage and I had this problem before. Last time I went to Europe I used my Maiden name on the ticket but it was changed before I went. Luckily my passport said both...my original name on front..then a stamp in the back to sway that i am also known as ****.. FM me if ya have questions

JJC is right. As long as you have a photo ID; Drivers License or passport combined with a birth certificate with you, you should be fine. You can even photocopy the marriage cert.

This happened to my friend and she had to use an old drivers license and she brought her wedding license too. Good luck.

Bring your ORIGINAL marriage certificate with the raised seal, so no one can question it.
