Travel to the United States

Metro

Here's the deal - I just got invited to spend Easter Weekend with my girl "Friend" and her family at their condo in Florida.

I have always travelled to the US with just a Birth Certificate and DL.

I know the US has new laws about Canadians travelling to the US by Air - but what about by Land?

My question is - Can I drive to Buffalo fly to Florida and return without requiring a Passport. I am getting my passport right now - but "due to sharp increases in volume" it may take up to 45 Business Days.

Please, only those who are knowledgable need reply.

Thanks,

Tom

you'll be fine that way

Thanks Cory, just found this on the Canadian Passport site

IF I enter the US by land without a passport, will I require a passport to board a US domestic flight (i.e. Buffalo to Orlando)?

No, the new US passport requirement applies to passengers on international flights only. Passengers boarding US domestic flights are not legally required to have a passport, however, all passengers must show proof of their identity. We recommend you contact your airline to determine their identification requirements.

Opps missed Tom's last post.


Not a problem if driving into Buffalo.

Yeah - their family was making a huge deal of it - but I would only fly from Buffalo anyway - better rates and nice airport to fly from.
