  Unruly Airline Passengers Could Soon Find Themselves on the No-Fly List❗ A small bipartisan group of legislators has reintroduced the Protection from Abusive Passengers Act, which could potentially ban a growing number of airline passengers who are convicted of violence or intimation in the air.  Noting that “disgraceful violence directed at flight crews and fellow passengers has become rampant,” the legislators (one Senator and two Congressmen) stated that “the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigated 831 unruly-passenger incidents in 2022, up from 146 just four years ago.” Barely a week goes by without another story of a violent assault on a crew member, passenger, or airport staff by passengers who, for whatever reasons, cannot cope with the stress of air travel. The legislation would establish a process by which passengers who are fined or convicted of severe physical violence or intimidation would be barred from flying on commercial aircraft. This regime would...

  U.S. Passport Renewal Processing Time Now 8 to 11 Weeks❗🛂 As the calendar turns towards spring, and demand for travel increases ahead of what is typically busier travel months, passport renewal is taking longer. Late last week, the U.S. Department of State updated its processing time for passports, pushing the time it takes to get an expedited passport renewal from three to five weeks to five to seven weeks. Standard renewal is now at eight to 11 weeks, instead of six to nine weeks previously. For reference, processing time begins the day the State dept. receives the application at an agency or center, not the day that the passport is mailed. That means that processing time for those using the mail might have several weeks added on to the door-to-door time it takes to get a new passport. Those who are traveling with less time to spare are able to schedule an in-person appointment at a regional passport agency in order to expedite the process. Those appointments can be scheduled ...

  What to Do if Your Flight Is Canceled💟 Updated January 30th , 2023 Flight Canceled or Delayed? Here's What to Do. If your flight has been canceled or delayed, remember that  federal law entitles you to a full cash refund  for the cost of your airfare (regardless of the reason). Follow these steps to claim compensation in the event your flight has been canceled or delayed. Get on the airline's app – or make an international call. First, pull up the airline's app on your phone. Most airline apps allow you to easily rebook your flight for free. Getting in line to speak with an agent and calling the airline while you wait is also a good idea (albeit slower than using an app), and social media messaging, texting or WhatsApp may prove helpful.  Recommends a lesser-known tactic: calling the airline's international numbers. Airlines have offices in Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and more. "While it can be costly, you can often get through to an agent more quickly," ❗ Not...

  Closed-Loop Cruise U.S. citizens who board cruise ships at U.S. ports, travel only in the Western Hemisphere, then return to the same port may present a government issued ID, such as a driver's license, to prove identification, accompanied by an original certified birth certificate to prove citizenship. These are the only two documents you'll need to reenter the U.S. on a  closed-loop cruise . Understand that cruises that include destinations outside of the U.S. that are not U.S. territories, may stop at countries that require you to present a U.S. passport to enter, so you could end up spending time on the ship when everyone else is enjoying the destination port city. Also, some cruises may not let you board without a U.S. passport, so be sure to check with the cruise line before booking those tickets. With all these places to travel without a passport, you may never need to get one! Some of the destinations like Mexico and Canada, and even some cruises, will have other con...
