A curious parallel: British Airways and Ryan Air are each requiring passengers to present a flight ticket and a passport at both checkin and boarding time for any flight between two countries in Europe (at least). e.g., London to Copenhagen will require such a presentation. There is no European Union regulation for that as far as I know. I wonder how they explain it, in comparison to the FAA's reasoning? (Nope, haven't searched yet, but it seems related to the topic.) What FAA regulation applies such a thing to an international flight, other than going formally through customs? B -- Brendan Kehoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zen.org/~brendan/
