🚨REAL ID Day Starts TODAY!🚨
According to Homeland Security, travelers without their approved IDs can expect to face "delays, additional screening and the possibility of not being permitted into the security checkpoint," even if you're a TSA PreCheck passenger. They are requesting you arrive 2-3 hours ahead of your flight if this is the case for you.

• State-issued Enhanced Driver's License (available in Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington)
• U.S. passport or U.S. passport card
• DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
• U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents
