I have my Personalausweis and Reisepass but sometimes don't even need it when being checked in, depending from which country to which. It's strange sometimes.

Ah yes I actually had to look up the definition of ages with the translation. For me it subjectively differs in the meaning with the German translation so you're right, it just means a long time. For me ages is more akin to ancient 😁 so I might need to rectify that.
