Under the proposed Secure Flight rule, I will not be issued a boarding pass unless I have booked my flight at least 72 hours in advance

Myth Busters

Myth

Under the proposed Secure Flight rule, I will not be issued a boarding pass unless I have booked my flight at least 72 hours in advance.

Buster

Under the Secure Flight proposed rule, airlines would be required to send passenger data up to 72 hours in advance, when available. This does not mean passengers will be automatically rejected if they need to book a last minute flight.

The Secure Flight system is designed to accommodate the changing needs of the flying public, without compromising security. TSA will have the ability to vet all passenger data provided against the No-Fly list and make boarding pass determinations up until the time a flight leaves the gate.
