Uh-oh! That temporary reprieve for passport-lacking air travelers flying within the Western Hemisphere, comes to an end on October 1
In case you haven't heard, Americans flying back and forth to Bermuda, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean will need to possess valid U.S. passports starting October 1. Several months ago, the rule was modified to allow such travelers to show that they had applied for a passport though they had not yet received one. That merciful exemption was created because of the notorious failure by the State Department to respond in a timely fashion to hundreds of thousands of passport applications.
So if you're planning to fly anywhere in the tropics (or to Canada) in a few weeks from now, you've been duly warned. Get that passport!
