SUBJ: TRAVEL POLICY UPDATE - TSA SECURE FLIGHT PROGRAM

FOLLOW NEW TSA PROCEDURES TO MATCH PASSENGERS TO NO-FLY LISTS.
EACH TRAVELER MUST USE THE FULL NAME USED ON THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED

THE AIRPORT TO CLEAR THROUGH SECURITY.

DIFFERENT THEN THE NAME CONTAINED ON THE GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID THAT
WILL BE USED WHEN CLEARING THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY.

BE REQUIRED TO ALSO REQUEST AND COLLECT PASSENGER DATE OF BIRTH AND
GENDER FOR ALL DOMESTIC FLIGHTS. THE GETTHERE PROFILE PAGE IS BEING

THE MODIFICATION IS AVAILABLE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD UPDATE THEIR
PROFILE WITH THE REQUIRED INFORMATION.
