To fly, you generally need the following: For Domestic Flights:

• A government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or state ID that matches the name on your boarding pass

• Your boarding pass (printed or digital) with the name matching your ID

• Children under a certain age may not need ID, depending on the country and airline

For International Flights:

• A valid passport with sufficient validity (usually at least 6 months beyond your travel dates)

• A visa if required by the destination country

• Your boarding pass

• Additional documents may be required such as vaccination certificates or travel insurance depending on the destination and current health regulations

• It is also advisable to carry a secondary form of ID like a driver’s license for use at your destination

Other Important Considerations:

• Liquids in carry-on bags must be in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less and fit in a single quart-sized clear plastic bag for TSA security screening

• Check-in can often be done online or at the airport

• Arrive early to allow time for check-in, security, and boarding procedures

In summary, for domestic flights, a government-issued photo ID and boarding pass are essential. For international flights, a valid passport and visa (if required) are mandatory, along with your boarding pass and possibly other travel documents depending on the destination
