As a member of the travel community, we understand that the Secure Flight requirements affect you in several ways. The most significant impact is the additional passenger information required from passengers when making an airline reservation. As a liaison between airlines and passengers, you play an important part in the airline's reservation process. The following information identifies travel agent requirements:

• Information requirements: Under Secure Flight, passengers are required to provide their name (as it appears on their government-issued identification [ID]), date of birth, and gender when making an airline reservation. They will also be given the opportunity to provide other information such as a Redress Number. In an effort to help travel agencies better understand the Secure Flight data elements (i.e., Secure Flight Passenger Data [SFPD]) that airlines must submit, Secure Flight developed a document entitled Secure Flight Passenger Data Definitions. The document provides data definitions to assist in designing the systems and processes that Secure Flight requires of airlines to capture passenger information for the Secure Flight system. You may access a copy of the document by clicking here.
• Privacy protections: To ensure customers of the security of their personal information, the Secure Flight Final Rule requires that airlines post a privacy notice on public website and self-serve kiosks before collecting any personally identifiable information from passengers or non-traveling individuals. As agents who book travel reservations on behalf of the airlines, the airlines require that you post this privacy notice as well.
