  • Hand carry carnet

    I will be hand carrying equipment to go to Mexico on a carnet. Where should I go to get the carnet signed out?

     

    My question does not show that I will be exiting the US at DFW, and will have limited time between planes.

    I have a cat traveling with me via the cargo hold on a flight from the UK. Where will I collect him upon arrival--the regular baggage claim?

     

    Ask your airline representative when you check in your cat in UK about their procedure when landing.

    Mi flight arrives from Amsterdam (CO59) and I have to get through customs, pick up my labeled luggage and recheck for Dallas within an hour CO4570. Feasable? What if I don't make it? Have to buy a new ticket for 3 people? Please help me out.

     

    You arrive & depart in Terminal E. Your flight is not yet listed. Continental's gates are E7 to E9 (look at your ticket for arrival and departure times and their gates); its baggage claim carousel is E5. Customs can be reached at 972-973-9825. (Continental's toll-free tel.number is 800-525-0280). Advise your flight attendant before arriving in Dallas that you need to be one of the first ones getting off the plane to catch your connection. Good luck!

    My work name is hypnated. My driver's license in just my married name. My ticket would be purchased with my hypnated, for work. Will my driver's license be accepted for appropriate ID?

    If I fly in from a foreign country, and pass through customs with something like liquor in my carry-on, will I have to go back through security to make my connecting (domestic) flight, where it will likely be confiscated due to the 3oz rule?

  • Federal ID

    Am I able to use my US Gov't Federal ID (work as Civil Servant for NASA) as a valid ID in the airport to get through security?

     

    Arriving passengers on international flights need to show passport; for domestic flights it should be enough (take along your drivers license, just in case).

    Can we still go through security with a driver's license that has expired two weeks ago? I will not get my new license in time for my flight

     

    Bring proof that you renewed your license (DMV is slow these days) and take along some other identification, including utility bill, etc.

     

    What can I use for identification if I lost my drivers license, but have a photocopy of an old license (that is expired)? I also have a Sam's Card with my photo and name, but I am stuck and need to get home so what can I use for identification?

    I have a 3 1/2 hour layover in texas next week. Am I allowed to leave the airport and come back or do I have to be stranded at the airport for 3 hours? :(

     

    You can leave the Airport alltogether, or go to another terminal inside the terminal, but on your return you will have to go through security again. Do allow yourself enough time for your return.

     

    Well,I like it, I recommend you can go to buy a juicy couture daydreamer bag from http://www.salejc.com/juicy-couture-outlet-hot-tags/juicy-couture-daydreamer-bag.html

    are you allowed to bring your baby's bottle on plane with formula in it? & baby food jars on plane? & cans of baby formula in the diaper bag?

     

    To make sure, either call the TSA Consumer Response Center toll-free at 1-866-289-9673, Monday - Friday between 8am-6pm (24 hour voicemail). Or email TSA at TellTSA@tsa.dot.gov.

  • Passport Card

    I have misplaced my Diver's License. Can I use my Passport Card ( not Passport Book ) as an ID to travel within the U.S.?

     

    The Passpor Card has been accepted for me. It is a government issued ID so should be good.

     

    According to my knowledge, passport cards are for land travel. A passport book is required for flying.

     

    can i fly to Florida from the U.S wit a military dependant id, my mexican passport that hasnt been stamped yet, and my I-40 form which its good for 1yr?

     

  • Picking up international passenger

    Can I wait outside of the customs area to pick up a teenage relative arriving from the Netherlands?

     

    I am pretty sure you can. If your airport has a free cell-phone lot and you pick up by car, you could stay in the lot until your relative has completed customs, collected bags & calls you to be picked up at the curb. You need to stay in your car during waiting time.
