THE REAL ID ACT - Deadline Extended

REAL ID

Beginning May 7, 2025, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, state-issued enhanced driver’s license, or other acceptable form of ID to fly within the United States. 


What is REAL ID?

REAL ID is the outgrowth of legislation passed in 2005 that establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards, and prohibits federal agencies from accepting licenses and cards that don’t meet the standards.

Individuals who are unable to verify their identity will not be permitted to enter the TSA checkpoint and will not be allowed 

to fly.  

 

Check for the STAR.

REAL ID-compliant cards are marked with a star at the top of the card. If you’re not sure, contact your state driver’s license agency on how to obtain a REAL ID compliant card.


Acceptable forms of ID, such as state-issued-enhanced driver's license, valid passport, or U.S. military ID will be mandatory for air travel.

UNITED KINGDOM E-PASSPORT GATES

ePassport Gates

US passport holders from the United States (and six other countries; Australia, Canada. Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea) can now use the automated “ePassort Gates” (where available) when arriving in the UK.


These passengers can now avoid potential wait times at immigration by inserting their passport into the machines, having their photograph taken and then entering the country automatically without any human interaction. Best of all, there’s no registration required, though-travelers. Passengers under age 12 years are not permitted to use the ePassport gates.

  

The UK has also done away with paper landing cards. Regardless if you have access to ePassport gates, you’ll no longer have to complete personal details by hand each time you enter the United Kingdom. 

UK - Departure Tax (Revised: 03/15/19)

UNITED KINGDOM DEPARTURE TAX

United Kingdom Departure Tax - AA Non-Rev Travelers

March 15, 2019 - Effective immediately, if you are accommodated in a premium cabin, you will pay the same, lower tax rate as you would in Main Cabin. This update does not affect the cost of parent (D2P) or guest (D3) travel.  The change is effective now, however, the Travel Planner does not yet reflect it yet (so you won't see it reflected in your estimated charges) as of now.
