Delta 6 Month Passport Validity Clarification
Hi All,
My apologies if this is in the wrong subforum. It looks like its not all Miles questions here so I thought since this relates to Delta it would be the best.
I have a flight to Cuba that returns to the USA on OCT 29th 2017. My Passport expires April 29th 2018.
This is EXACTLY 6 months (or 182 day)
It appears that CUBA has no 6 month validity requirement. However, Delta does according to their website.
"Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the return date of a passenger’s trip to Cuba."
I've called CS (Very pleasant people) and have been told "Don't worry you are good thats 6 months"
However, via their Delta twitter team I was told that I wouldn't be allowed to board as this was an airline policy and it doesn't matter what Cubas policy is (This was after I was referred to the state department website and replied that Cuba doesn't have this policy).
Any thoughts on this? If I need to renew my passport I need to expedite it basically ASAP as the wait is 2-3 weeks. But I'm nervous about a 2-3 week turn around when I only have about 4 1/2 weeks till the trip.
Any gate agents for delta around here?
Thanks all!
