International air travel experience with RTD

Hi guys,

Could someone pls share their experience of international air travel with a refugee travel document (RTD)? Just regular international flights, NOT going back to your home country (COP).

Did you have any issues going through airport security? Is it a good idea to bring your national passport if it hasn't expired?

I heard certain airlines might refuse boarding with only RTD. Is this true?

Thanks.
 
Depending on the airline and destination, you could face extra scrutiny. Taking your national passport would be very helpful, but it depends on how you feel about that. What is your nationality, and do you need a visa for the countries you are visiting? With a visa, it's a lot easier. Without one, personnel might wonder if you can enter.
