Got married and now my married name doesn't match the name on my United Airlines ticket. Help!

false

Basically I recently got married, and I changed my name so that my maiden last name is now part of my middle name (ex. Jane Doe Smith is now Jane Doe Smith Johnson). However, I had booked flights prior to my name change that still show my maiden name, Jane Doe Smith, as the flyer.

Here's the complex part - I also moved states between all of this, so my new driver's license/state ID shows my married name, but my old DL from the state before now shows my maiden name (which matches the airline ticket). Obviously the old ID is no longer "legal", however it's still 2 years away from being expired and the DMV never took it so I still have it.

Here's my question: How can I contact United to ask them to change my name on my flight ticket to match my maiden name? If that's not possible and/or costs too much, could I use my old driver's license which shows my maiden name as proof of ID to match my ticket as it is now, or does the system flag the ID as invalid now? I don't have a passport or anything else to use for this.
