Before traveling to SmileCon, make sure to obtain your REAL ID if you haven’t done so. Beginning May 7, 2025, you must have your Real ID to travel domestically or visit any federal facility. Failure to do so will result in denied boarding and passing through TSA requirements or denied entry into a federal facility. Visit your state’s driver’s licensing agency website to find out exactly what documentation is required to obtain a REAL ID. Please see REAL ID to learn more!

As of October 1, the U.S. federal government has entered a shutdown. The impact on most U.S. airports is currently limited, as most airport and security staff, as well as air traffic controllers, are classified as essential workers and continue to operate as usual. However, the shutdown may still cause disruptions to business travel.

We want to ensure your travelers are informed and prepared. Below is an overview of how key areas may be affected. Please know that the situation may evolve depending on the duration of the shutdown.

Airports, TSA, and Air Traffic Control

Air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staff are considered essential workers and will continue working, though without pay. In past shutdowns, this has led to increased absenteeism, resulting in longer security lines and flight delays. We recommend arriving at the airport earlier than usual and monitoring your airline’s communications for updates.

Customs and Border Protection

The Department of Homeland Security staff, including Customs and Border Protection officers, are also classed as essential. Processing of international arrivals and passenger screening will continue as normal. However, slowdowns in processing are possible.

ESTA, Passport, and Visa Processing

• ESTA: The Electronic System for Travel Authorization will continue to function as normal, as it is self-financing.
• Visas: Foreign nationals applying for U.S. visas may experience delays if consular staffing is reduced.
• Passports: U.S. passport services may be impacted, particularly if passport offices are located in federal buildings that close during the shutdown.

Amtrak Train Operations

Amtrak has confirmed that trains will continue to operate in the Northeast Corridor and across the country in the coming days and weeks. Amtrak receives public funding but is operated as an independent agency.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we encourage all travelers to:

• Review travel itineraries carefully and allow extra time for airport procedures.
• Check visa/passport status and plan ahead for any international travel.
• Stay flexible and perhaps consider refundable or changeable bookings when possible and within your company’s travel policy.
• Use Fox Connect to reference the flight delay information (powered by flight aware) as well as the Fox Mobile app and your preferred airline apps.
• Download the MyTSA app to reference current wait times at airports. You can also visit the Department of Homeland Security website at www.dhs.gov.
