UA says Passport Required for Puerto Rico
We recently booked a trip on PHX-BQN for a friend, and the itinerary says that a passport is required for the trip. I was wondering, is this a new UA-specific requirement? I never required a passport to travel to Puerto Rico.

Not sure if it's policy, but it would make sense, since diverting would mean a non-U.S. landing.
EDIT: Here's UA's policy; doesn't look like a passport is required: https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly...id/travel.html |

Last I saw Puerto Rico was par of the USA and thus you would not need a passport, anymore then going from New York to New Jersey. The "Rules" say that a passport is a valid form of ID, but so is a driver's liscence.

Beginning Oct. 1, 2020, if you plan to use your state-issued ID or license to fly within the U.S., make sure it is REAL ID compliant. |

Actually all USA DLs do qualify for at least 2 more years.
Drivers' licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by a Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) that meets REAL ID benchmarks |
I’ll make sure to pack mine when going to ABQ ;) Come to think of it, I have seen border patrol at ELP airport, even though all of their flights are domestic... Nowadays, you probably need to bring one, whether required or not. Sad but true. |

Maybe according to TSA,.,,,
And UA links to the same site referenced earlier -- so they accept the TSA policy, No conflict. Being from an extension state, I have followed this quite closely. |

Where was this information given? When I have booked an international ticket on UA I get a link to this generic page on travel documents: https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con.../passport.aspx no such link are on my last two domestic tickets. |
