Folks,
Please keep in mind
FlyerTalk Rule 5 when posting here:
Stay On Topic
FlyerTalk exists for the discussion of frequent flyer programs and the related travel experience. With the exception of the few areas specifically designated for the discussion of other topics, confine your comments as closely as possible to these topic areas and to the topic of the thread and forum in which you are posting.
The OP's question is whether a US citizen with an expired US passport will be permitted by the airline to board a US bound flight.
This has nothing to do with whether British or German subjects with expired passports will be allowed to board flights to their respective countries or with the various types of British passports.
In addition, the
Practical Travel Safety and Security Issues forum, according to the forum's sticky post, is the place to ask questions and get information to help you travel safely and with minimal hassle. Before replying to this thread, ask yourself, "If I were traveling today, is this something I need to know?" If you wish to discuss other countries practices, please feel free to start new informational threads specifically dealing with those topics. Discussions of what should or should not be the practices belong in the
Checkpoints and Borders Policy Debate forum.
Off topic posts have been deleted.
Thank you for understanding,
