And that includes United and Southwest among them. Checking ID before issueing a boarding pass is universal. That includes all the airlines. No ID is required before issueing a boarding pass. I always print it at home within 24 hours of my flight. Now if you're talking about getting through security without ID and a boarding pass, that's another thing. You don't think identification is checked over the web? Anybody can just waltz onto the airline's site, say they're you and print a boarding pass so they can take your place on the flight? The name on the ID won't match the name on the boarding pass, then. |

You know, so you can get the spelling right. Anybody can just waltz onto the airline's site, say they're you and print a boarding pass so they can take your place on the flight? Why, no they can't. You're either an incredible dummy or a pathetic troll. In any event -- {plonk}. -- Larry |

In message "James Silverton"
was claimed to have wrote: Nile wrote on Fri, 3 Oct 2008 16:42:42 -0500: As an American traveling in America this seems outrageous. Has anyone else had a similar experience? A hotel in Miami Beach once required that I fax them a copy of my driver's license, when I telephoned to make a reservation. I stayed elsewhere. Seems a bit unusual but many places will want to you to give a credit card number to guarantee the reservation. That's a billing issue, rather then an identification issue, allowing the hotel to bill you if you don't show up at all. |

And that includes United and Southwest among them. Checking ID before issueing a boarding pass is universal. That includes all the airlines. Which has nothing at all to do with what I said. My statement stands. I print my boarding passes at home via the Internet. When asked for ID, I show my passport or passport ID, even for domestic travel. The airlines don't scan or record any information from the ID proferred. -- Larry When I check in for an international flight online with CO, my passport information is already there. I just click on it, and I'm finished. I used to use my CC at the kiosk, until certain information came up one day. What kind of information? My reservations are made on my Corporate Amex Card. I swiped my personal Master Card at the counter. When an extra charge came up, it asked me if I wanted to use the same CC. I chose yes. When my statement arrived at the end of the month. The extra charge was on my Master Card. If it only took my name when I swiped it, it couldn't have known that it was a different card. Some other interesting information; http://tinyurl.com/4c36xx |

(and they stamp it occasionally.) I may have to have more pages added before this one gets renewed. |

Come to think of it, at IAH, they always verify Passports at the gate before you can board. |
