I was so paranoid about losing my passport in Europe that I wore it in a holder around my neck. Some Euro chick was making fun of me on the bus because I checked for my passport every 15 seconds to make sure it was still there Expand Wow well you don’t want to have to be posted up an the US embassy waiting for extradition back to the states. The euro chick probably wanted to fuck. 1 1 1 Quote

Expand and if you don't have a Real ID license you can use it instead. You don't need to be confused. It is actually quite easy to understand. Just trying to give Salty options if he is worrying about losing his ID. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/passports/how-a-passport-can-help-you-fly-domestically.html Edited February 26, 2021 by toast21602 2 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Real IDs aren’t needed for PA residents to fly domestically until October and they may extend the deadline even more. Edited February 26, 2021 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

Well if Salty loses his license in UT he can just tell them that and I'm sure they will let him through security with ease. Expand Actually they will, minus the ease part. One of my Jeopardy players lost her purse at Disney two years ago and was able to fly back without ID. The TSA website recommended showing up at the airport as far in advance of your flight as possible if it happens to you. She was with security for like 3 hours, no one allowed to go with her. I didn’t ask what all she had to fill out or what they verified because she was really annoying and I didn’t want to get her started. 😂 Nothing wrong with flying with passport domestically though. Used mine on this past trip, mostly because my DL had expired and renewal hadn’t come, didn’t feel like dealing with the potential question about the expiration and showing the temporary paper printout. Neither the Southwest nor TSA agents batted an eye. 2 Quote
saltyant Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 I'm using my passport when the stupid real ID requirement starts because I'm not paying $35 for it cuz it's dumb. 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 On the topic of passports, there’s a big backlog so anyone who’s expires soon, get on it early. Mine expires next spring so I’ll probably send it in for renewal soon. I also need to check on the renewal of my PreCheck. That should be coming up soon too 1 Quote

Expand It made total sense to me even before ski trip flights were on my radar since we go to Disney so much. Whenever anyone asks me if it’s worth it I tell them if you fly once a year average it’s a no brainer. I say “It’s $85 for 5 years. That’s $19 a year. If you fly once, it’s $10 each way. If someone walked up to you and said you could hand them a $10 bill to get in this shorter line, leave your shoes on, belt on, light jacket on, laptop in bag, liquids in bag and go thru the metal detector instead of the hands up, don’t shoot machine, would you spend the ten?” My answer was every time, so it was a no brainer. 2 3 Quote

I always get frazzled dealing with the luggage scan. When I was a noobie I'd put my wallet and keys in a bin. Way too easy for someone to swipe, though I doubt anyone would because there are probably 1000 cameras. Now I put my junk in my suitcase first. Still annoys me having to take my laptop out. I dont bother with small liquid bottles anymore and no one says a word. Last time my white noise machine looked suspicious and they ripped apart my suitcase... I was not happy. Now I put it on top of everything 1 Quote
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 I didn't realize the pre-check was that cheap. I'll have to look into that when I start going on more trips. I got the real ID last year, but only because I needed to renew my drivers license anyway. 1 Quote
