Traveling as a senior in 2026? The days of just flashing a smile for a discount are over. Get ready for strict ID checks, surprise fees, and digital age-verification everywhere from airports to national parks. Forget your REAL ID or proof of residency? That could mean a $45 TSA penalty or $100 extra at top parks. Even your old paper “Golden Age” pass might get you denied! Double-check your docs before hitting the road—these new rules are no joke. #News #TravelTips #SeniorTravel
