Exciting journeys await, but don't let an incorrect ID stand in the way! Starting May 7, 2025 travelers will need a Real ID compliant Drivers License or Valid Passport for domestic air travel.

The Real ID has the yellow star in the upper right hand corner and can be obtained through the DMV. Make sure you are travel ready for your next adventure!

Dear Friendship Tours & The Ship Shop Traveler,

Starting May 7, 2025, new requirements for air travel within the United States will go into effect.

Beginning May 7, 2025, ALL passengers will need to present either a REAL ID – VERIFIED Driver’s License or a valid US Passport as acceptable identification for air travel within the United States.

A Verified License will have a gold star in the upper right corner.

LICENSE - MUST BE THE VERIFIED LICENSE…WITH THE STAR! If you are not a CT resident, please check with your appropriate state.

Please see Department of Homeland Security website for more info.

If you don’t have a Verified License then a Valid US Passport is required to fly within the United States.

When making a reservation with us, we will need your name exactly as it appears on the document that you will be using to be able to issue your airline ticket to avoid being denied boarding.

We look forward to helping you plan your fabulous tour and/or cruise for 2025 and beyond!

Sincerely,

Friendship Tours & The Ship Shop
