Usually no for the cabin as a pet; most golden retrievers are too large, though a trained service dog may fly with you. A golden retriever can fly, but the way your dog flies matters more than the breed name on the ticket. On most U.S. airlines, a golden retriever is too big to ride

Yes, some travelers can leave a passport agency with a new passport that day, though appointments, proof of travel, and timing decide it.

Yes, a wall charger can go in your carry-on or checked bag, but a battery-powered power bank must stay in the cabin. A lot of travelers use “charging block” for two different things. One is the plain wall plug that snaps into an outlet and has no battery inside. The other is a portable charger,

Yes, a RAVPower power bank can fly in your carry-on if its battery rating fits airline limits; it does not belong in checked baggage. RAVPower is a brand, not a special airport category.
