But elsewhere I don't recall being asked for ID at all, other than checking in at hotels - and I'm not talking just EU but would include Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Canada and probably some others I've forgotten about.
I'm in the U.S. most often and it's the one place I don't carry my passport although I have a NEXUS card.
In Post 7 I mentioned some of the situations were I've needed it.
