Hannah Bronfman had the nanny send a passport to the airport in Uber during a hectic travel day

“I’m going through (security) and suddenly 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 driver’s license with him in Kentucky. She and Fallis, who tied the knot in 2017, share two children.

She tried to prove her identity with her credit cards, but to no avail.

“Because I did not arrive at 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 was no longer able to sit in first class.

“I’m flying economy, which is just par for the course,” she said, adding that she treated herself to a gingerbread oat milk chai iced latte from Starbucks to “cheer herself up.”

The angel investor said her nanny was “luckily” at her home and was able to send her passport to her in an Uber while she waited at the airport.

“She put my passport in an Uber, so I’m waiting to pick it up,” Bronfman explained as he stood outside the terminal. “I think I’ll update my information on Clear and get on this next flight.”

The ‘Do What Feels Good’ author filmed the rideshare vehicle as it drove to the airport and opened the door to reveal her passport wrapped in aluminum foil in a paper bag.

“The sandwich move,” Bronfman joked as she unwrapped the aluminum foil around her passport. “Yes, okay. Let’s go!”

She ended the video by filming herself boarding her flight to Texas with her carry-on luggage, and captioned the clip, “Goodbye, Houston!”

Earlier in the post, Bronfman also clarified that she was originally scheduled to fly first class because her flight was paid for by the conference she was en route to speak at.

“I expect all the trolls will say, ‘Oh, you’re flying first class,’” she said. “I’m actually going for a work event. I’m speaking at a conference, and yes, if you have work events that involve your travel and accommodation costs, you can fly first class.”

But rather than transfer to another flight where first class was available, she explained that she preferred to “just get there.”

‘Just take me there. I want to settle in the hotel. I want to go to bed early before my panel tomorrow morning,” she said. “And I didn’t want to take a $100 car into town, which I already have to pay for an extra $100 car just to get my passport here.”

“So at least I got a flight credit,” she continued, adding, “Girls math.”

Bronfman also scolded Clear for not warning her in advance that she might need to provide some form of identification.
