i lost my wallet in vegas this year and got home without any form of ID. took about 10 extra minutes of answering questions. (i am white tho)
yeah, you don't have to have photo ID to fly. people think you do, but nope. nope at all.
Aren't you supposed to have some form of ID? Why do I always show them my DL or passport then?
you don't need any form of ID, photo or otherwise
What about when you check in at the desk and check a bag? They want to see your ID so they know that you are really the person on the ticket checking a bag. You can just say "No thank you" when they ask to see your ID?
you can, but you will get delayed and they can deny boarding. My buddy lost his ID when we went to CA last year. He had to be hand-walked through security and get interviewed and all. Another time a friend left his at home, and was able to use a Sam's Club card to get on the plane, but was told he better get a photocopy of his ID for the trip home, so his wife faxed him one.
