If your pre-flight checklist includes snacks, headphones, and a boarding pass—but not a Real ID—you might be in for an expensive surprise at the airport.
Starting next month, you need to have a Read ID if you want to go for Domestic flights. The TSA said, "Starting February 1, if you don’t have a REAL ID or acceptable form of ID (like a passport!) for domestic flights, you may pay a $45 fee to verify your identity through @TSA ConfirmID."
