Flight in 4 hours. Husband cannot find drivers license.

[Anonymous]

How in the world does someone lose their license? What happened to keeping it in your wallet at all times? What happens if you get pulled over?

If I were the OP, I would have called the airline before posting on here or checked the TSA site.

Bring the expired passport and a copy of DL if have. He's probably fine, may have to endure some extra security.

He has a credit card, but not the one that was used to purchase the flight. The flight is a reward flight which was a gift from a family member. He has an expired passport. He has a company id. He has a birth certificate. Any idea if he will be allowed to fly? Where should he talk to someone? Security? The check in counter? Should he get there early to deal with this. He is not concerned, but I think this will likely be a "big deal" at the airport. Thank you!

How well do you know your husband? This all sounds like a fishy story concocted by a terrorist to get onto a plane.

I've flown without a license — I'd lost my wallet the day before. Seriously, the Starbucks line in the terminal took longer than getting through security with no license.

He'll be fine bringing whatever he has along.

I lost my wallet one hour before a return flight from LA. I was with my 5 year old son. I explained situation and they took me aside and interviewed me for a few minutes ( social security number and other identity questions, what kind of car I drive, who my mortgage was with - looking at some online profile or credit check I guess). They let me board.

You honestly think with all the idiots in America this is the first time someone lost their drivers license? Please. Chill out.

How about you chill out. No need to be so condescending.

No. It would also not be the first time that someone missed a flight because of it either.

Thanks everyone. OP here - i searched his work bag and found the license - it had fallen out of his clip style wallet, which he keeps in his bag.

I misplace mine all the time because I travel a lot, and so I'm pulling it out to show security and for hotel check ins all the time. I usually put it back where it belongs but sometimes I just throw it back in my bag, and it gets lost for a bit.
