Under 21 Priceline Hotel

As far as an airline is concerned, if you’re 12 or older, you’re an adult. > Also, I booked a hotel on priceline in DC, will they ask for ID?  or > is a credit card good enough?  I didn’t realize you had to be 21 > before booking… I’m 20 so I hope they won’t care.

Probably they won’t. You’re prepaid, so they have their money. — _Deirdre  web: http://deirdre.net    blog: http://deirdre.org/blog/ "Memes are a hoax! Pass it on!"

I’ve never seen the airlines care – they just want to be sure your ID matches the ticket name. >Also, I booked a hotel on priceline in DC, will they ask for ID?  or >is a credit card good enough?  I didn’t realize you had to be 21 >before booking… I’m 20 so I hope they won’t care.

You best call the hotel and see what their policy is. This also depends on local law. I’ve almost always been asked to produce ID when checking in to a hotel. It’s been a while since I passed 21 though…

Sort of a rule… The "cheaper" (down market) the hotel or chain is, the more likely you’ll be asked for an ID, or translated, "On occasion at the Super 8, but almost never at the J. W. Marriott." I was asked for my DL checking in to a reserved (with credit card) room in a small city in the "Big Thicket" of East Texas (an area which in a cultural sense can be compared to rural Applachia) the other day.  Even with occasional stays at "Motel 6" and the like (in small towns across the US, the choices can be minimal and when your profession takes you to small towns, you dance with them what brung’ya), this was the first time I recall being asked for ID at a US hotel in a number of years.  On the other hand, I’m an old geezer. Europe’s different, far away lands with inhabitants long accustomed to producing documents for all sorts of natural functions such as sleeping.   Shucks, in my youth, one had to show ID or a passport at the Italian post office to make a cheap long distance phone call, and Alexandre Dumas’s France had letters signed by high eminences which would get you arrested and endungeoned within a few ticks of the bureaucratic clock. Now, does your girlfriend have a cheap imitation wedding ring, an absolute necessity back in the US of the 50s, where young couples checking into hotels were subjects of grave suspicion? TMO
