A passport is a really good thing to have, and lasts much longer than a Real ID state license. It ends up costing like $13/yr and it opens up the whole world to you. It blows my mind that on;y 50% of US citizens ever bother getting one.
As a passport holder myself, that was my plan. This article has me wondering if we’d still be charged the fee. TSA is notoriously stupidly incompetent, and I wouldn’t put it past this system to be giving kickbacks to agents.
idk, not by the letter of the law, no. But they are they are pretty awful sometimes. I personally always used my passport for all flights even before REAL ID existed, it’s just easier for them than offering a license from a rural state like I live in that they may see once or twice a day.

Well over half of us live paycheck to paycheck and traveling is exorbitantly expensive. Especially international travel.
It sucks being broke.
Ding ding ding- the commenter your replying to must not be poor to think buying something you cannot use is a good idea 😂😭
Travel can be done cheap. Don’t go to the exorbitantly expensive shitty fake ass resort where you get food poisoning.
Go be real, in the real world.
My real ID is 8 years versus my passport’s 10. And cheaper, less hassle to renew, and more convenient to carry. But I do have both.
My state also hasn’t offered non-real IDs in several years.
It costs 165 bucks per person or almost $700 for a family of 4. Then they need $3000-$5000 to travel round trip once to a destination in Europe.
Why is europe the only place you’re considering travel to? It’s a big world out there
I guess I figured on an English language online forum most of the folks here are US and Europe
Because it’s romantic.
