Travelling
to the USofA?
New TSA Passenger information
The Transportation Security Administration
(TSA), a US government entity, has announced the implementation
of a new directive known as Secure Flight Programme. Secure
Flight was developed by the US Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and is designed to enhance the security of commercial
air travel. This means that for reservations ticketed after
15th September
you will be asked to provide the following data when you
are booking a flight:
- Full name (as it appears on your passport)
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Redress Number (if applicable)
Under the new Secure Flight policy, the TSA mandates that
airlines collect specific information from passengers when
making reservations. The required information is known as
Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD).
Your
travel insurance does not cover every disaster!
