You can fly with a REAL ID, but it still has limits for some.

The article clarifies that a REAL ID‑compliant driver's license or state ID is required for domestic air travel and certain federal purposes, but it cannot substitute a passport for proving legal immigration status, and it lists alternative acceptable IDs and the $45 fee for travelers lacking proper identification.

Key points:

The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 and began enforcement on May 7, 2025.

REAL ID‑compliant licenses or IDs are marked with a gold or black star (or a bear in California) on the top of the card.

Federal agencies no longer accept older driver’s licenses or ID cards without the REAL ID marking.

Acceptable alternative forms of ID at TSA checkpoints include a U.S. or foreign passport, state‑issued enhanced driver’s license or ID, U.S. passport card, DHS trusted traveler cards such as Global Entry, permanent resident card, border crossing card, tribal photo ID, DoD ID, Veteran Health Identification Card, merchant mariner credential, USCIS Employment Authorization Card (I‑766), TWIC, HSPD‑12 PIV card, and Canadian provincial driver’s license.

Travelers who arrive at the airport without any of these IDs may undergo additional screening and, beginning Feb 1, 2026, must pay a $45 fee.

FYI: Southwest Airlines ✈️ Flyers 🗣!!!

Starting TODAY- the MOST LOVED amenitie about SW comes to an end 😒💔

Southwest has made a number of controversial moves over the past few months that have left travelers scratching their collective head. The airline known for offering free bags decided to change its most beloved perk by charging $35 for the first checked bag and $45 for the second - unless travelers have an upgraded status with the carrier.

Just a reminder :🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
DO NOT.. DO NOT.. DO NOT!!!
PACK YOUR DOCUMENTS IN YOUR LUGGAGE!!

🚨 DON’T LET YOUR LUGGAGE TAKE THE TRIP WITHOUT YOU! 🌍🧳✈️🛳

It happened again🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️—someone was denied boarding because their passport and travel documents were in their checked luggage! 😬

This is your friendly TA reminder: Always keep your passport, birth certificate, and boarding documents with you. If they’re packed away in your suitcase, you might be stuck on the dock while your luggage enjoys the cruise!

Double-check before you leave home—your documents should be in your hand, f***y pack, or with you on your carry on. NOT your checked bags!

Travel Tip 🌍🧳✈️ on Packing:

(1) Limit your items to only the essentials. Never cram all your stuff into the luggage, only because you might need them. Bring only the things that aren't replaceable where you're headed, and skip all the items with local alternatives.

(2) It's good to have a packing list so you don't overpack and hopefully not forget anything. Start with your important papers and personal identifications. Put them all in a zip-lock bag and store them inside the safe compartment of your backpack/carry-on🎒

(3) Electronic Devices - In most cases, you only need space for your phone and charger. Your laptop is "optional", especially if you don't plan to use it often during your trip.

(4) Pack clothes efficiently. Your clothes and other accessories are much needed to show off your styles and capture amazing pictures during the trip. However, only take those that you'll most likely wear during the experience.

(5) You should always try to roll your clothes to optimise the space inside your luggage/backpack.

(6) It's highly recommended that you use packing cubes to help organize the items inside your suitcase. Thus, allowing you to make the most of the available space.
