So stay in the terminal in Shanghai before Immigration until you can get the next flight back. That better be a really good pilot for United to spend that much money for something like that and not fire him. United sure as hell wouldn’t turn around if a pax forgot their passport.

Last month I used some frequent flyer miles to fly to Florida for a short vacation. Had to change planes in Charlotte and while going through TSA I lost my license in the confusion..

Got to Orlando and realized what happened. I then discovered that the car rental company would *not* rent me a car without it...despite the dozen other cards I had with my name on it (including several credit cards).

With no car I had to fly back home.Eighteen hours of flying...3,000 miles...got home at 1AM.

And this was a few days after that crash in DC and my flight back included a stop there. I got to fly over the Potomac just as that plane did a few days earlier.
