Now you just need to figure out how to ensure that everyone packs their passport when they leave home. Like I said elsewhere: Passport, medications, cash/cards. The big three. Get those correct and you're 90%+ there. Well good news is they can’t board a flight without it and we are all flying in day before. If someone forgets it they will just have to take another flight worse case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not let them do the research! I swear my BIL calls me every other day to ask if I've seen a price drop. omg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a passport it’s just a matter of making sure they are valid for the trip and that they bring them to the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion was about my family not forgetting their passports that you replied to. “They” referred to my cousins etc so your comment does not apply at all. Also if you are referring to US that doesn’t mean they are flying domestic. Flying to another country they will need their passport presented at the airport. Not all cruisers are Americans and not all cruises start from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all cruisers are Americans and not all cruises start from the US. You seem to be somehow offended. So, please allow me to clarify. I absolutely noticed your nationality when I responded. You had made a blanket statement in response to another poster that boarding without a passport was not possible - it made no mention that you referred to your own family or other Canadian citizens. That's why i pointed out that this did not necessarily apply to all others viewing this thread. As to your second critique, I specifically mentioned flying domestically - therefore your comment on that aspect does not apply. Your last sentence is, of course, 100% accurate - but not scenarios that I was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response was not generic but was an answer to an ongoing conversation with ChieMateJRK discussing making sure people had passport for MY family trip. It was in no way stating that everyone needs a passport to fly. That’s why it’s quoted every time. You seem to just not have seen that this was an ongoing back and forth and thought your two cents applied to the scenario when it did not. Anyways personally I always fly with my passport even if it’s domestic, I actually rarely leave the house without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
