Hey this is a VERY COMMON question here on VJ. You need to make sure that you have the airline tickets in the name that is in your passport and not the greencard name. Also make sure to bring your marriage license with you just in case. Otherwise there is no problems flying into or out of the country that way at all. 

 

 

Edit.... I just saw your from the Philippines. So make sure YOU BRING YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE and SUBMIT IT TO IMMIGRATION when you get to immigration desk in the Philippines. Have you done CFO yet? Because they might not let you leave the Philippines without doing CFO.

You’ll be fine. My passport is still under my maiden name and my green card in my married name. I haven’t renewed it yet since I got married since it is still valid up to 2020. Like cyberfx1024 mentioned above, make sure your ticket matches the details in your passport and keep your marriage certificate handy.  I have been back and forth to the Philippines multiple times already with no problem. But when I traveled to Europe, I have been asked at the airports in Germany and Greece to show my marriage certificate and everything went well.
