One last name in Passport, Two last names in plane ticket

Upvote:14

I also have a Mexican passport that shows my two last names, but it has been expired for several years, since I have not used it in a long time; Is it worth taking it with me just in case?

Yes. It might come in handy and it's neither big nor heavy.

And if it's expired, will they take it into account, just to show them that my maternal last name does exist?

Since you're not going to be using it as your primary means of identification (much less sole means of identification), the fact that it's expired probably won't matter terribly much.

Has anyone had an experience like this and know what could happen?

My experience is that discrepancies in given names are tolerated. I can imagine that surnames would be treated more strictly, but with the huge number of people in the world who have Spanish names, this surely must happen fairly frequently. If it were preventing people from clearing TSA, we'd have heard about that before now.
