U.S. Passport Requirements

You may have read news reports or heard about new passport requirements for travelers between the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Of course, a valid Passport is already required for travel to most countries. Soon all travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Canada or Mexico will be required to have a passport to enter or re-enter the United States. The deadline for full implementation of these travel requirements is January 1, 2008. In the proposed implementation plan, the new Passport rules will be rolled out in phases, and the proposed timeline will be as follows:

• December 31, 2006 - Requirement applied to all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
• December 31, 2007 - Requirement extended to all land border crossings as well as air and sea travel.

By January 1, 2008, all Americans departing and returning to the U.S. will be required to have a valid U.S. Passport.

With these deadlines in mind, please be advised that if your travel plans include Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, or Bermuda in 2007, and if you currently do not possess a Passport, you should immediately apply for a U.S. Passport to avoid the rush at the end of this year. The process can be started at any U.S. Post Office that handles Passport applications. The process normally takes about 6 weeks. See http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html for further details, or give us a call.
 

New ATS Web Site Name

We have a new web site name! You may now find us on the Internet at http://www.www.antietamtravel.com in addition to http://www.antietamtravel.com. This was made possible by the recent addition of the new top level domain of .travel. Since we realize that some clients have trouble with the spelling of "Antietam," we decided to simplify our web site name. If you click on our new URL above you will be redirected to antietamtravel.com, where we strive to provide you with the travel information you want and need, as well as our latest specials. Also, alternate email addresses for our staff are available: firstname@www.antietamtravel.com, where firstname is the first name of one of our staff.

Also, please remember that from our home page, you can sign up for our ATS Email Specials list to receive bi-weekly emails that include several offers from any of hundreds of travel suppliers.
