Anyone travel to the Philippines and back successfully with an extension letter? Which airlines to use/avoid? From reading this thread and others I may be stuck using Philippines air direct from Manila to LAX on the way back. I am not sure about the way there. I'm curious which airlines to avoid coming back to the US, and if leaving the US if any airline is OK?

My wife and I did a road trip to Canada last year (Michigan at Bluewater bridge). She had her green card. No issues coming or going. We always bring as much info as possible, but greencard did the trick. Canada border crossings are crazy busy at times here. We have a lot of Canadian workers that cross to work near Detroit. Really depends on where you cross.

Is it a specific airline or country that is not honering these GC extension letters? Sounds like it is airlines and Philippine air is good to go. I'll have to try and contact United. I usually fly Delta and have flown Philippine air in the past.

Thanks! That's an option too. Although I don't fit well in those seats on philippine airlines and can't pay for business. There was another airline (EVA?) but don't know much about them. Pricing is insane no matter what I do. If it's only korean airlines causing issues I'll fly through japan. I'll check out united. I didn't realize they had direct from san fran.

Do you mind sharing which airline you ended up going with? How did you leave Korea? My wife and I are planning a trip in June to the Philippines. Most of the flights end up going through Korea. We're really worried we'll get stuck somewhere because of the extension letter. Seems to be less flights going through Japan nowadays though so I may be stuck.

Thanks Everyone!

Hi Everyone, My wife and I live in the US. We were married here under K1 and she took my last name. Her maiden name is on her Philippine passport. Her 2 year green card shows her new name. We are buying tickets for her to travel home but not sure of what name to put on the tickets. I believe she needs her maiden name, but want to double check. I imagine she won't have trouble getting out of the US and into the Philippines with her maiden name. But what about leaving? She technically doesn't have a K1 visa. Is the green card sufficient to exit the Philippines? But then I run into the issue that the plane ticket has her maiden name. Another issue is we never notified the PH embassy that we were married. Will that cause travel issues? Sorry, this is the first time she's going to travel since getting her GC. Thanks!
