Travelers can fly without REAL ID for now, but with extra steps

The article from Yahoo News discusses the upcoming enforcement of the REAL ID Act, set to take effect on May 7, 2025, which will require travelers to have a REAL ID-compliant driver's license or another acceptable form of identification to board domestic flights within the United States.

It emphasizes the importance of checking the status of one's ID and understanding the requirements to avoid travel disruptions as the deadline approaches.
