Travel: Something to declare - True or false
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

False: "The aircraft captain has the legal authority to refuse boarding to any passenger that he or she considers unfit to travel, and to anyone whose behaviour or condition, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, may be a threat to the safety of the aircraft, passengers or crew. Airlines may also deny boarding to any passenger whose presentation and dress may cause offence to people of other religions or cultures. If a passenger becomes disorderly during a flight, the captain is entitled to land at the nearest airport and have him or her removed from the aircraft." - Thomson Holiday Guide, Summer '97
