A traveler’s ordeal at Heathrow shows why you should always carry the card you used to book your ticket.

Most travelers know the basics of air travel: passport, boarding pass, and maybe a printed itinerary. But one lesser known requirement could derail your trip if you overlook it.

ABC News highlighted a story from Herb Weisbaum, a Consumers' Checkbook contributor known as the Consumer Man, who nearly missed his return flight from London because of a rule at Heathrow Airport.
