I need some advice here.
My son is scheduled to fly to Montana this weekend by himself. Not a big deal except that last night he got a ticket (a long, stupid story) and gave up his license instead of his AAA bond card.
Since he is 17, he does not have to have a picture ID to check in and board a plane BUT someone taking a look at him might not necessarily believe he is a minor.
He could take his passport BUT we have a trip planned to Asia in three weeks and if he somehow loses his passport, he is really in trouble.
What to do? Let him take his passport and risk loss of both passport and our upcoming vacation? OR send him with school ID and his birth certfiicate?
Keep in mind that he is travelling alone so if the TSA give him a hard time, he might not handle it with much finesse. Remember this is the boy who gave the cop his license instead of his bond card and got a ticket for not producing proof of insurance when the card was in the glove compartment.
