Travel Advisory: Airport Security Updates and Mexico Monitoring
/TSA PreCheck and Airport Security
We want to share a quick update regarding recent news about Transportation Security Administration PreCheck during the partial government shutdown.
While there were reports that TSA PreCheck had been suspended, the latest announcement confirms that it will continue operating. However, the agency noted that “as staffing constraints arise, TSA will evaluate on a case by case basis and adjust operations accordingly.”
TSA has announced that as of today, Global Entry operations are being paused, which means international travelers who normally use Global Entry lanes when returning to the United States should be prepared for longer wait times.
What this means for you:
Please allow extra time at the airport, especially for upcoming departures.
Bring your Real ID-compliant driver’s license.
If you do not yet have a Real ID, you will need to travel with a valid passport for domestic flights.
Mexico Travel Conditions
We are also aware of recent security developments affecting parts of Mexico, including areas in and around Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. We are monitoring the situation closely and advising travellers on next steps. As always, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Please contact us if you have any concerns about upcoming travel to Mexico.
Next Steps
We will continue to monitor developments related to both situations and will share any meaningful updates as they become available.
One helpful tip we always recommend is purchasing secondary travel insurance for your trips. Not only does it provide peace of mind, but it can also save you significant stress and expense should your plans be impacted by the shutdown or other unforeseen events.
