What documentation will I need to travel?
- You must present a government issued photo I.D. such as a driver's license, passport or state I.D. card when you check-in. A college I.D., even a state college I.D., may not be acceptable. Without the I.D., most Airlines won't allow you to board the plane, even on domestic flights. If you don't have any of the I.D. listed above; you should call your travel agent or the Airline directly to see if any alternative I.D. will be acceptable.
- A valid ticket and the name on that ticket must match the name on the I.D. exactly.
- On international flights, you'll need a passport and the name on that passport must match the name on your ticket exactly. Bring your certified marriage certificate if a recent marriage has changed your name and file for a new passport as soon as possible.
- Check with the countries that you'll be visiting to see what types of documentation you'll need to enter and exit those countries.
- Remember that all travel documents are ultimately the traveler's responsibility and the Airline cannot make exceptions to governmental laws.
