How to get an expedited passport without having a flight .

Have you ever been in a position where you have needed an expedited passport for some reason? Passports can often take a very long time to process. I bet this process is even more unpredictable and length nowadays.

I have a great trick that I once utilized. In order to get an emergency and expedited passport, you  actually need to have a scheduled flight. This obviously creates a necessity for the passport to be expedited. In order to prove to the passport agency that youre in fact flying, they will ask you for your printed out reservation.  

A little known loophole around such a requirement is that many airlines will actually enable you to book a flight for 24 hours, without reserving . This can be done without a credit card.
