Most people don’t bring their passports with them when flying domestically, but one traveler discovered that might be a mistake.

In a video posted by @ItalianKate on TikTok, she filmed another passenger (@griptape_ on TikTok) as he explained how their flight from Puerto Rico to Miami ended up with them stranded in an airplane terminal.

He explained in the video with 1.5 million likes and 8.2 million views that they were on American Airlines flight 2421 and were circling around for two hours before the pilot announced they needed to land in the Bahamas, where the passengers would disembark.

Should you always bring a passport when traveling? Passengers on this nightmare domestic flight believe so

Hawaii State

It's now easier than ever for people without passports to go get one, but here's the kicker: You might not even need it, especially if you're eyeing a trip to a tropical U.S. destination like Hawaii. For those based in the mainland U.S., Hawaii might feel like a far-off mythical land, considering it's more than 2,400 miles away, with the massive Pacific Ocean in between. And unless you've got a flying car stashed in your garage, driving there isn't exactly an option, so you're left with no choice but to hop on a plane or a ship. But the good news is, unlike other far-flung locales, you don't need a passport to visit the beautiful islands of Hawaii — that is, if you're a U.S. citizen or a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR).

Whether we're talking about a short layover or a long layover, most people tend not to love having their travel plans delayed — no matter how much overbooked flight compensation cash an airline might offer for the trouble.
