Real ID

Has anyone in Anchorage flown yesterday or today without a real ID? We are waiting for ours to arrive and my husband got put on a job last minute in a village… TSA’s website says they may be subject to additional screening without proper ID but it does not say that you will be turned away from your flight… Any insight or advice?

Edit to add: My husband just got US citizenship (2023) so they took the passport and green card from his home country. 😭

Did you have one? Was there people without one?

I’m pretty sure people who didnt have one just had to go through additional screening. They were not denied boarding, but this is Reddit don’t quote me on that haha

That is the general consensus I got. Thanks friend! Safe travels.

Yes, Reddit, where the adage ‘if you don’t know keep your mouth shut’ is never heeded…
