Enhanced Drivers License

[chff]

how did you book a flight without looking at your passport anyways...? I guess these ddf frequent flyers know their passport #'s by heart..

Who needs a passport to "book" flights?

Funny that you just posted this. I was supposed to take a flight LGA-YYZ early this morning . Before I went to bed last night, I went to get my passport and it was missing. Spent two hours looking for it before canceling my ticket and going to bed. At one point I thought about maybe my enhanced NY license would work but after a little research, I realized it wouldn't for flying, just land and sea crossings.

Can’t find anything online about entering Canada with an EDL. Has anyone done this?

As a NEXUS member, do I need my passport when travelling to the U.S.?
The NEXUS card can be used at a NEXUS/Global Entry (GE) kiosk, located in the U.S. preclearance area, if you are departing from the following airports:

Halifax Robert L. Stanfield International Airport
Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
Toronto Pearson International Airport
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport
Calgary International Airport
Edmonton International Airport
Vancouver International Airport
If you are departing from another Canadian airport, you must carry your passport in order to use the GE kiosk and benefit from the expedited processing when arriving in the U.S.

Would it help by renewing for an enhanced driver's license versus me having to go down to the DMV to get a real ID?
  Or would that require me to go down for an enhanced driver's license as well?

First time enhanced you will also have to go down.
If you have enhanced you don't need real

I hear, but yes was trying to get enhanced to avoid going down and killing the whole day.
