New Drivers License Rules Set for 2014 in U.S.A.

Friday, June 8, 2007, the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Homeland Security Department announced new passport rules for Americans traveling to Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico.

Effective immediately, U.S. citizens traveling to these destinations who have applied for new or renewed U.S. passports -- but who have not yet received them -- may temporarily enter and depart the U.S.A. by air with two items in lieu of a valid passport:

1.  A government-issued photo ID (e.g., a state driver's license)

2.  Official proof of a passport application in process

These new temporary rules will remain in effect through Sept. 30, 2007.

Federal officials have taken this step due to the extraordinary delays and backlogs now being experienced with U.S. passport applications (which now require at least 12 weeks or more to process).

Notes:

1.  To obtain the official proof of a passport application from the State Dept., you must go to this Web page and follow the instructions:

http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/status/status_2567.html

2.  Children under the age of 16 traveling with their parents or legal guardians may travel with the child's proof of a passport application.

3.  These rule changes may not be used as loopholes for travelers who have failed to apply for a passport as required.  If you do not present the two items mentioned above -- the government-issued photo ID and the OFFICIAL proof of a passport application -- you will not be accommodated.

4.  These new rules apply only to the destinations listed (Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico).  Passport requirements for travel to and from other countries remain the same.

5.  The State Dept. and the Homeland Security Dept. are still giving a start date of "as early as January 2008" for the new rules requiring passports for Americans returning from these regions by land or sea.  (A firm date may be given within two weeks, when the departments file proposed regulations implementing these future rules.)

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that you allow AT LEAST 12 WEEKS to apply for a new or renewed U.S. passport -- and, if possible, you should apply even earlier.  This advice is critical if you plan to travel in these regions after the year-end 2007 holidays!

Your Travel Rights: The New Rules for Airline Baggage

by John Hawks

The latest airline quality surveys confirm what we’re already hearing from our clients: Reports of delayed, mishandled, misrouted, and lost bags are skyrocketing.

What advice can you give your clients if they’re facing baggage troubles on their trips?

 Delayed Bags

The good news about delayed airline luggage is that, more than 98 percent of the time, it eventually shows up (usually, within 24 hours of the initial delay). As soon as it’s obvious that no more bags are coming off the carousel in the baggage claim area, your clients should go immediately to the airline baggage office. (If they’ve flown on more than on airline that day, they should go to the airline that operated their last flight.) They should always collect a claims form or receipt from the airline with details on how to check back (via phone or the Internet) on the progress of the missing bags.

If your clients’ bags are delayed for several days, it’s increasingly unlikely these days that the airline will agree to reimburse them for new clothing or other interim expenses -- at least, not without a fight. (Remember: Travel insurance makes perfect sense to avoid these problems!)

Damaged Bags

Remind your clients that they should always inspect their luggage when it comes off the baggage carousels. If they spot any significant damage, they should file a claim immediately with the airline baggage office inside the airport. (The airline rep will usually insist on seeing the damage firsthand.)

Lost Bags

If the airline declares that your clients’ luggage is lost, they must file a written claim for damages that may be different than the initial missing baggage report. On domestic U.S. flights, the airline baggage liability limit increased effective March 1, 2007, to $3,000 per passenger. For international flights, the limit is based on a new formula called “special drawing rights” (SDRs) governed by the International Monetary Fund. Right now, the limit is 1,000 SDRs, with the value of an SDR changing daily like currency (it’s set currently at about $1.51 per SDR, so the limit is around $1,510). Previously, the limit was set at $9.07 per pound in the baggage weight. Your clients may be asked to produce receipts if possible for more expensive items claimed as lost contents, and most airlines have included in their ticket fine print a long list of excluded items that are not covered for reimbursement (from antiques to electronics).

General Baggage Tips

1. Before you pack your bags, spread out the contents on your bed or the floor and take pictures with your digital camera. Those photos will help you document the contents without forcing you to write down an itemized list of everything -- and, they’ll serve as handy evidence if you must file a claim later.


2. Never pack anything in your checked suitcases that you can’t stand to lose. That includes electronics, jewelry, medicine, and other valuables.


3. As you check your bags for the first flight, watch the airline agent to make sure the proper city codes and tags are placed on the correct bags. You’d be surprised how often a simple mix-up in stickers can send your bags halfway around the world!


4. And, the best advice of all? Purchase travel insurance!
