International travel

Passports

A passport is the preferred method of identification for international travel. For many countries, it is the only acceptable document. For any destination, a passport may help to expedite border clearance.

You are responsible for bringing the correct documents for international travel (including Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe). If you do not have the required documentation and identification, you will not be allowed to board the plane.

Requirements for international travel

Non-U.S. Citizens: You should check entry requirements with the consular officials of the countries you plan to visit before you travel.

Europe/Latin America/CaribbeanMexico/Canada

U.S. citizens traveling internationally are required to show a valid passport.

Minors

All children, regardless of age, must possess all necessary travel documents as required by the countries visited on an international itinerary. Customers under the age of 18 are not required to present ID for domestic U.S. travel. Identification from the responsible adult will be accepted on behalf of the minor(s).

In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry and exit points, which may include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child's travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian not present.
