From Visa policy of the Schengen area:
To be able to enter the Schengen Area/Bulgaria/Croatia/Cyprus/Romania visa waiver, the above Annex II nationals are required to:
- have a travel document which is valid for at least 3 months after the intended date of departure and which has been issued in the previous 10 years
If your passport expires in less than two months, then unfortunately you will likely be refused boarding your plane by your airline.

@Subterfugue The passport must be valid until three months after you intend to leave the Schengen area. Whether it expires in less than two months or in two and a half months, it certainly does not meet that requirement.

I would recommend asking the airline to change your departure date and drive to the nearest passport agency or center. Set up an appointment online while on the way there and get two passport photos taken. Bring your old passport. They can usually get you a passport in about 4-6 hours. Probably too late for OP, but hopefully it helps future travelers.

@HenningMakholm setting up the appointment just takes a couple of minutes. One could reasonably do this during a coffee break. There are places in the US that are 1200 km from the nearest passport agency, in which case a few breaks will definitely be needed. But it probably does make more sense to make the appointment before setting off on the trip.

@AzorAhai Good point. And if you're on Maui you're not going to drive to Honolulu even if it's only 160 km. Come to think of it, if you're in Alaska and don't have a passport, you're not exactly likely to be driving to Seattle any time soon, either.

You're recommending going online to set up an appointment while driving???

@HenningMakholm it doesn't specify the person going for the passport drives..

@HenningMakholm setting up the appointment just takes a couple of minutes. One could reasonably do this during a coffee break. There are places in the US that are 1200 km from the nearest passport agency, in which case a few breaks will definitely be needed. But it probably does make more sense to make the appointment before setting off on the trip.

@phoog Even further, since there isn't one in Alaska.

@AzorAhai Good point. And if you're on Maui you're not going to drive to Honolulu even if it's only 160 km. Come to think of it, if you're in Alaska and don't have a passport, you're not exactly likely to be driving to Seattle any time soon, either.

@vikingsteve They might be lax at the border, but the check-in agent likely won't be.

@vikingsteve The reason they're so relaxed is because they have all the information beforehand from the airline. The idea that you can "talk your way through border control" is.. adorable though.

the problem has nothing to do with France, the problem is the airlines. OP, you will not be allowed to board. You need a new passport.

Sooooo... did you get on board? (Q asked 17 hours ago) - P.s. - get an emergency passport issued from your council/municipality (or whatever that is in America). Could possibly even try to have it issued with pick-up at the airport. Or maybe even sort it with customs at the airport itself. Though you really should've thought about this.

Rule of thumb: never attempt to travel internationally with less than six months left on your passport.
