Required Travel Documentation

Upon reservation, you will need to provide us with the identification information as noted below. You must provide your information exactly as it appears on your ID.

• For International Tours: Passport expiring no sooner than six months after your return date.
• For Domestic Tours: REAL ID–compliant U.S. driver’s license or other acceptable form of government-issued photo identification (see below section).

REAL ID for Domestic Airline Travel

All U.S. travelers boarding domestic flights are required to show a REAL ID–compliant form of photo identification. Alternatively, you may present a valid passport, military ID, or other federally approved document (trusted traveler card, active/retired military ID, etc.). Failure to present either a REAL ID–compliant identification or other federally approved document will result in a fine. For more information, visit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s REAL ID webpage.

Keeping Your Documents Safe

Take clear photographs and/or make photocopies of important documents and store them in your checked luggage or in another safe place separate from your original documents. Documents you may wish to copy and carry with you on tour include:

• Passport, driver’s license, and/or other government-issued ID(s)
• Visas and/or travel authorizations
• Airline itineraries (with e-ticket numbers)
• Records of inoculations (if required)
• Travel protection and health insurance information
• Medication prescriptions

Should you lose any important documents, having someone at home available to help you replace them can be helpful. And, of course, you want to be reachable in the event of an emergency. Your hotel contact information can be found in the Accommodations List on your My Odyssey portal.

It’s amazing how easy it is to forget the name and address of your hotel – so pick up a card or matchbook at the front desk and carry it with you when you go out.
