Are you Real ID ready for travel?

This is for real. We just went through TSA this weekend and they were telling people to ensure their ID’s were uodated.

According to a published final rule, the TSA is publicizing a May 7 deadline but will likely implement a phased enforcement to accommodate travelers who don't have a Real ID by then.

I'm thrilled to have been chosen out of hundreds of applications for the Travel Agent SELECT hosted program, and I’ll be heading to Las Vegas for the Travel Agent Forum!

Being a Travel Agent SELECT delegate allows me to meet one-to-one with a global selection of some of the industry's most sought-after suppliers. And it opens up new opportunities for networking and education - allowing me to serve my clients even better!
