karadekoolaid hope you're going to be ok next time you travel to the US.
They're saying it's going to cause family to be split up at the border, same as happened before

Yes, I must say I'm just a little "concerned" at the moment. Just hoping a British passport will keep things calm!

That would be my hope too

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t count on it. I know people who have had trouble or been denied entry with valid Canadian passports.
I’m not traveling to the US for the foreseeable future, and most people I know are avoiding it as well. It’s just too risky.

I suppose they won't let you on the flight if they don't expect you to be allowed in (they = airline staff)

Same with Brits.
They are using key words to search your phone so the advice has recently been to travel with a clean (as in empty device) with nothing that could be viewed as anti American (that includes any negative commentary of the orange baby).
I suspect people flying in from Venezuela will likely have to prove they're going back home. Probably show a return flight and perhaps proof of income from a job back there.
At least that's the way they do it in other countries when they pull people for questioning and are suspicious they're going to stay.
Mind you the Venezuelan response saying America's not safe anyway, not just for Venezuelans but for everyone isn't exactly going to calm the administration down is it
karadekoolaid I'm sure you'll be fine but maybe pack some pocket meat cos I hear they don't hold you in the nicest of conditions. Or perhaps as it's you a few samosas wink

karadekoolaid, I know you are going to visit one son, but are your wife and other son going as well?

I don't think the airline would care. Once you debark the aircraft they're business with you is concluded. That greedy people thing...
At check in in Venezuela, you have to be able to prove you have a return flight, otherwise they won't check you in.
Happened to me about 3-4 years ago. I was with my disabled son, it was 4.30am and I hadn't got the return flight on my phone.
I had to call my son in Cinci, at 4.30 am, so he could send me the return flight
This time it's only me and I've got all the flights registered.
Wife & son are already there; they flew in from the UK 2 weeks ago.

Not for me it's not, I was up on my stocks this morning but have "lost" a substantial amount of money since this crap show started. So I am paying attention. Of course it's not a loss unless I sell stuff, which I am not about to do at this point.
