Need a U.S. Passport Immediately?

You should make an appointment to be seen at a Regional Passport Agency only if:

The U.S. passport is needed in less than 2 weeks for international travel
The U.S. passport is needed within 4 weeks to obtain a foreign visa
Contact the National Passport Information Center to make an appointment or locate a Passport Agency.

go to :

http://travel.state.gov/passport/npic/npic_898.html

https://passportappointment.travel.state.gov/

I also made an appointment online. It's a long overdue option. I discovered that new appointments post at midnight, for the newly added day. I waited until midnight, and was able to pick any time I wanted in NY. Game changer.

and make a appointment you will get it the same day or the next day , (depends when you are flying) .



If you need an expedited appointment call l 1-877-487-2778 at 8 AM SHARP EST. Press 1 1 2 2 to speak to a live rep to schedule you an expedited appointment.
Trick is to press the last 2 at 8AM, rather than starting the call at 8AM. I had 2 people try it this morning- one pressed "2" at 8AM and had no hold times and got an appointment for today. The second called at 8AM, had a 30 min wait, and was told that the closest they have available is in VT.

Ah, yes. It sounded like you paid those 24 hour services.

I can't speak for Philly but when I left Israel in June earlier this year I realized the day of my flight that  my passport expired three months prior. I went down to the New York city passport office downtown which with no appointment and was able to show my itinerary showing my flight for that night.  Thankfully I was walking out of there with my new passport about an hour and a half after showing up to stand in line. I would never plan on it but they really saved me and got me out of there fast. If you just show up you may have a better shot to get it sooner.

Just go to AA.com and put a reservation on hold.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

That's what I used to do and that's why I tried to do again but it looked like the option was gone.

SW refundable
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
