“I show up to the airport 20 minutes before I start boarding,” Bronfman shared in a video posted to her TikTok on Nov. 13.
Bronfman, 37, explained that she has Clear and TSA PreCheck so she wasn’t expecting to present any identification upon going through security.
“I’m going through [security] and all of a sudden, the system wants an update for my identification,” she said.
Bronfman went to look in her wallet and realized her husband, Brendan Fallis, had her license with him in Kentucky. She and Fallis, who tied the knot in 2017, share two kids.
She attemped to prove her identity with her credits cards, but to no avail.
“Because I did not arrive to the airport an hour before boarding time, I am denied such verification,” she said.
Due to the setback, she moved her trip to a later flight and would no longer be able to sit in first class.
“I will be flying economy, which is just par for the course,” she said, adding that the treated herself to a gingerbread oat milk chai iced latte from Starbucks to “cheer [herself] up.”
The angel investor shared that her nanny was “luckily” at her home and was able to send her passport in an Uber to her while she waited at the airport.
“She put my passport in an Uber so I’m waiting to pick it up,” Bronfman explained while standing outside the terminal. “I guess I’ll update my information on Clear and will get on this next flight.”
The “Do What Feels Good” author filmed the rideshare vehicle as it pulled up to the airport and opened the door to reveal her passport wrapped in tin foil inside of a paper bag.
“The sandwich move,” Bronfman joked as she unwrapped the tinfoil surrounding her passport. “Hell yeah, alright. Let’s go!”
She ended the video by filming herself boarding her flight to Texas with her carry-on luggage, captioning the clip, “See you soon Houston!”
Earlier in the post, Bronfman also clarified that she was originally supposed to fly first class because her flight was being paid for by the conference that she was en route to speak at.
“I’m anticipating all the trolls being like, ‘Oh, you fly first class,’” she said. “I’m actually going for a work event. I’m speaking at a conference, and yes, when you have work events that are covering your travel and accomodation, you get to fly first class.”
However, instead of switching to another flight where first class was available, she explained that she preferred to “just get there.”
“Just get me there. I want to get settled at the hotel. I want to have an early night before my panel in the morning,” she said. ” And I didn’t want to take a $100 car back to the city, which, I already now have to pay an extra hundred dollar car to get my passport here.”
“So, at least I got a flight credit,” she continued, adding, “Girl math.”
Bronfman also scolded Clear for not warning her ahead of time that she may need to present a form of identification.
