TRAVEL TIPS

I followed all the rules, but still got stopped at the border. Can they really just stop anyone?

A lot of travelers assume border crossings work like airport security with a passport check thrown in. In reality, crossing into another country is more like asking permission than exercising a guaranteed right. Even if you have valid documents, a return ticket, hotel reservations, and absolutely no record, border officers still have broad authority to question you, search your belongings, and decide whether you’re admissible.

For larger passengers, that pressure can turn into a real fear: can an airline legally make you buy two tickets? It’s a question that comes up constantly as planes—and wallets—feel more cramped than ever.
