Do you have your REAL ID yet? Fun fact (not really): $45 TSA fee for no REAL ID after Feb. 1, 2026. A hack from your travel advisor if you can't get your REAL ID—a passport card or book gets you through scot-free for domestic flights! I'm a little obsessed with outsmarting surprises like this for my clients.

Transportation Security Administration - TSA recently announced that starting February 1, 2026, air travelers without a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID will be charged a $45 fee to use an alternative identity verification system (TSA Confirm.ID) to establish identity at security checkpoints. If you don’t have a REAL ID, remember that a passport card or passport book are both accepted REAL ID alternatives for domestic travel and can help you avoid this fee. Just remember that the $30 passport card is not sufficient for international air travel- you'll need a passport book for that. Learn more at travel.state.gov/passportcard.

Do you use AirTags when traveling? 🤔 KCR Travel advisor Krystal Randolph swears by them!

AirTags are an awesome tool for peace of mind when traveling, and now United ✈️ is partnering 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 with passengers to use those AirTags and help find delayed baggage 🧳 faster!

United is officially the first of the major airlines to implement Apple's Find My item location, which was first announced by the tech company last month.

In the event a bag doesn’t arrive to its final destination, customers can file a delayed baggage report in the United app, and those who travel with an AirTag or Find My network accessory can additionally now create a Share Item Location link in the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and add that to the delayed baggage report in the United app.

If traveling with gifts 🎁 this holiday season, try to bring them unwrapped or not taped up! Travel advisor Krystal *personally* experienced this with some homemade cookies 🍪 from Reno❄️ to Maui☀️ and we wouldn’t wish the extra TSA conversations on anyone traveling this holiday season!

What's our next travel tip?

Unlike the Grinch, we don’t want to ruin anyone’s holiday cheer. Please remember: Our officers may need to do additional screening on your items, including presents. Because of this, we suggest using a gift bag/box or waiting until after security screening to wrap up gifts. There's even a few airports that have gift wrapping stations after security this season!
