IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION FOR U.S. TRAVELERS

  • Starting January 22, 2018, passengers with a driver’s license issued by a state that is still not compliant with the REAL ID Act (and has not been granted an extension) will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight. Therefore, we encourage all U.S. travelers to bring their government-issued passports as a precaution.
