Using the Family Travel Passport is easy and fun!
- 1
Start the Survey
An adult with an email account should start the survey. They will be prompted to add the first names of each family member, ages, and an email and a password in order to save your progress and allow other family members to log in later. - 2
Pick Your Preferences
Each family member, ages 4 and older, fills out their answers to the survey – what they like to do and see on vacation and places they’d like to visit. KeeKee, AAA’s Family Travel Mascot, is your guide. Other family members may use the family login to sign-on on their own devices, or a One-Time Link may be forwarded to other family members to give them instant access to the survey. - 3
Ta da! View Recommendations
When your entire family has completed the survey, you will be presented with Destination Recommendations. The survey generates two city destinations for each year, one International and one in the U.S., until your youngest child reaches 18 years old. - 4Export & Share Your Recommendations
You have the ability to export and email your Recommendations in a PDF format that folds into a Family Travel Passport. Your Results – all the answers of each question for your family – may be exported as a spreadsheet. - 5
Contact Your Local AAA Travel Advisor
Turn your recommendations into reality by working with a Travel Advisor who may help you plan a realistic short-term and long-term travel plan for your family.

Sending Emails to a Travel Advisor from the Family Travel Passport Site
From within the Family Travel Passport survey if you visit your Recommendations page you should see a link titled Email in the upper right of the screen.
If you click this you will see a pop-up like below. If you live where there is a AAA Club utilizing the Family Travel Passport you will see the section “Send to my local AAA Travel Agent.”
If you do NOT see the “Send to my local AAA Travel Agent” message on that pop-up, you live in a part of the United States that does not have a AAA Club linked to the Family Travel Passport website.
No worries. If you want to work with AAA Travel, please visit AAA.com and scroll to the bottom of the page to the “Contact Us” section.

Maybe. There are many AAA Clubs across the United States, but not all of them are participating in the Family Travel Passport to receive your information.
If you want to work with a AAA Travel Advisor, you have at least two options:
(1) Within the Family Travel Passport Survey
- When you are logged into the Family Travel Passport survey, if you visit the Recommendations page or the Results page click the link in the upper left corner that says “Email.”
- A pop-up window will appear and if you are in a city where there is a AAA Travel club connected to the Family Travel Passport website, a checkbox will be available that says “Send to my local AAA Travel Agent. (as shown below).
- Click the check boxes if you want to email your Recommendations and/or your Results.
(2) Via the AAA.com Website
Visit AAA.com/Family-Travel or AAA.com and scroll to the bottom of the webpage, there should be a “Contact Us” section on the AAA website.

There are two ways you can email your Recommendations Passport (PDF) and your Results (spreadsheet).
Once the entire family has finished filling out their survey, and the View Recommendations button appears, you’ll then be able to save, export and email your Results & Recommendations.
1) Save/Export and Send Via Your Email App
In the upper right of the Recommendations page and Results page you will see the links shown above. If you click on Save/Export the app will guide you to saving the Recommendations PDF or Results spreadsheet (depending on what page you’re on).
