We had a guest at Adagio suddenly realize that his passport was about to expire - he managed to get through check in by downloading his boarding pass in advance the night before and only taking carry on so he wouldn't have to talk to a gate check in person - your biggest risk is that the airline refuses to take you on board because they are liable if you get turned down at your destination - having said that BVI is pretty lax but there are many countries in Europe which insist on 6 months before expiry.

The Moorings website says your passport needs to be valid 6-Months after your stay. Like most things in the lions I think it depends on who you get at C&I. I would not chance it.

This day and age, this is something that should just be added as a reminder on your phone.. We also travel regularly so I'm always checking it.. I think ours is up in 2019.

The website link that prcn linked above states that it only must be valid for the length of your stay. It appears to be an official government website.

I don't know whether the rules have changed since then and often those in a position of authority are wrong.. Just sayin'. If I personally happened to be in that situation, I would keep a printout of the above website with me, just in case. But, unless you're in a situation like DanS described above, I agree it would be more prudent to just get it renewed early.

Travel agent or airline employee was very mistaken. a US citizen does not need a passport at all to fly to HI, just a gov issued photo ID. It is a US state after all. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Not all that surprising as research has shown many US college grads can't even find the US on a map.

Sunluvr said: I traveled to Hawaii at the end of March 2017; one of our traveling companions was required to renew her passport (which expired in 5 months), else she would not have been permitted to fly. And this is in the US! I wouldn't take the chance. You kid right?
