Air travel using foreign passport with maiden name [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Applying for UK tourist visa and travelling with documents in my maiden name?
2 answers
My wife recently got her Green Card and we would like to travel from the United States to Thailand and back in a few months.
Her Thai Passport has her maiden name and her Green Card has her married name.
Is that a problem or not? What documentation would she need to enter Thailand, and then to reenter the United States? Would traveling with our marriage certificate be sufficient?
Should plane tickets be purchased under her maiden name or her married name?
Any information, relevant links, or directions would be appreciated.

Ticket requires her name of the Passport. The green card is only for entry into the USA.

@SheikPaul with the passport and green card and evidence of the name change, the tickets could probably be in either name. (The green card is also necessary to get a boarding pass for a flight to the US, after all.) Anyone investigating the name discrepancy might well wonder why the ticket is in the traveler's maiden name when that is not her current name.
