Traveling to El Salvador... Airline and Passport Questions?

If your passport expired in 2001, then you need a new passport. You can't travel on the old one, so you can get the new passport with your married name.

You can obtain a child's passport without both parents being present, but there are documentation requirements. You can read them at the US State Department website at this link: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/minors...

If you are traveling without both parents present, then it is a good idea to carry notarized permission from the missing parent. According to the State Department:

"In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child's travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry/departure."

Your daughter's asthma inhaler should be okay as there are many exceptions made by the TSA for medically-required products. If it contains more than three ounces, then it may be a good idea to carry a note from her doctor stating that it is medically necessary.

TACA's phone number is (800) 400-TACA.

Yes it does. The flight is operated by TACA but you buy it with American Airlines. When you arrive to the airport they will send you to do the check in in a TACA counter and probably you will aboard a Taca Plane. I don't know why they do that. That's why TACA sucks to me. No matter what ur boarding pass says, you always will go directly to El Salvador.
