I am flying with Spirit, in June without luggage (son is driving and is taking ours). I will have a boarding pass, so when will they check my photo ID? I was just wondering.
I've had mine checked at the counter (which you can avoid since you already will have a boarding pass), always at security, and sometimes right before I board the plane.
My DH and I have taken several trips through Cincinnati recently and they always check it when you board the plane. Our new catchphrase when we land there is, "We check ID in Cincinnati!" They repeat it constantly over the loudspeakers.
Just returned yesterday from a r/t between IND and MCO and our ID was checked at the check-in counter and security only and not at the gate. In your case maybe only at security.
Recently been through Albany, NY; Baltimore, MD; Tampa, FL & Orlando, FL airports. ID was checked at the check in desk (when I used it) and security to the gates. I have not been checked boarding the plane for a year or so.
