Passports 101
For international travel a passport is generally required. Passports:
- should be valid for at least three months beyond departure from your destination
- have one blank page for entry stamp
- be in good condition
- should be kept in a safe location at all times
Failure to adhere to these guidelines could result in cancellation of your trip or delay in your return.
Obtaining a Passport
If you need to apply for a passport, standard processing is $135 USD and takes 4-6 weeks. Expedited service is available for an additional charge.
A copy of your actual passport must be uploaded to your online application by the date specified. Failure to meet this deadline will result in removal from the group flight, and possible increased costs.
