I have flown many times with my warrents. i had more than one and i was never arrested. but you should still take care of your tickets though. you do have options like monthly payment plan, community service, some places have weekend jail. if you dont take care of ur warrents then when ur id or license expires you cant get it renewed without them calling state patrol to come pick you up and then you will sit out ALL warrents at once. And without a valid ID you cant get anything done in the state. Not even car ins, which runs you the risk of getting another ticket.

I got a DUI was arrested and never showed up for my court date so for two years there was a warrant for my arrest. I flew from Texas to Chicago as well as in the state of Texas. I had show my id and run my id to get my paperless ticket and was never arrested. They don't run it through the system. I took care of it now, but while I had a warrant and flew it never came up. Good luck!

No, you should not attempt to fly with a felony warrant as you could face serious legal consequences at the airport. It is advisable to resolve the warrant with the authorities before attempting to travel.

Unless your name is on the TSA's "no fly" list, a felony arrests warrant won't keep you from flying. Airlines do not have access to criminal justice databases, and won't know about the warrant. You could be detained and your identification checked at some point by police at an airport, and if the warrant was discovered and the agency holding it was willing to send officers to retrieve (extradite) you, you would be arrested.

Added: HOWEVER - if you are referring to an international flight, the odds are actually quite good that your name will be scanned, and if the warrant appears in NCIC the likliehood of your being arrested is much greater than that for a domestic flight.

This question was asked and answered within the past week. Yes. Nothing, and no law, prevents you from flying if there is a felony warrant outstanding for your arrest. HOWEVER - many (most?) passenger manifests these days are checked via computer to determine if anyone flying is a security risk or has torrorist links. Such a check (if it were to be conducted) would probably turn up your name - the airport authorities would be notified and the likliehood is that you would be arrested either before takeoff or after landing.

Generally yes, but you risk arrest anytime or anyplace that you contact the police.

Yes, you can buy a ticket and fly, but if you are violating any kind of travel restrictions you may have on you, you are breaking the law.

Will a person with a felony warrant be arrested if they travel by air?

Not necessarily. (I am living proof.) I had "serious" felony warrants in MORE THAN ONE U.S. state. Still, I flew both on domestic flights and on international flights with no problems. There is no "Star Trek" style computer (yet) that just "finds" every and any wanted individual wherever & whenever they decide to buy a plane ticket! You're tripping hard if you believe that sort of thing! How did I do it? Well, I didn't "do" anything. I bought a ticket with cash, showed my passport and boarded the aircraft. And, if it is of any interest to you, I have flown in and out of several other nations since then, and the warrant(s) remained active during all of these flights. So, don't believe the nonsense people tell you! Every passenger on every flight isn't cross-referenced for felony warrants!!! That's preposterous! That's "made for t.v." One time, in fact, I skipped a court date (a bench warrant was issued immediately, of course), and then a week later I flew to Amsterdam (and back) despite the felony warrant being active in my name. I was only apprehended when I turned myself in. . . after I returned from Europe! So there! Law Enforcement would have to be actively searching for you at the precise airport from which you departed & at the precise time when you departed. Otherwise, if you pay for your ticket and board the plane like everybody else, NO, nobody is going to stop you!
