Passport processing delays continue to climb, leaving Americans scrambling to secure documentation for international travel.
"We're waiting and we're waiting and we're waiting and we're waiting. And we're like, are we going to have to do a backup trip? Are we going to have to cancel the trip?" Angie Licea said.
"Don't think that you could go down to the passport office in every city and think you're going to get your passport back in two weeks. It's not going to happen. You should be knowing that your passport is going to expire at least a year in advance and planning. You should, if it's six months, you should already be sending it in for renewal," Licea said.And a lack of advance planning could leave travelers with more than just a missed flight.
"It definitely can be frustrating right now, but I think I've done everything I can," Jordan Rudisill, a traveler, said.
