Any hope of him being able to fly July 3 to visit family here in NJ?
Searched but didn’t find a thread but there most likely is one, apologies but would really appreciate answers TIA
It's definitely doable, I've seen folks get a talking to a couple weeks ago. I, personally, would plan for an extra hour upon departure (they still have ways to get through without an ID at all), and no Precheck benefits.
