New Secure Flight Requirements

Posted: July 27th, 2010

Effective August 2, Premier Gateway will comply with the TSA’s new Secure Flight rules by requiring that all reservations include the passenger’s full name as it appears on their government-issued ID, date of birth and gender. Our booking engine has been updated to accommodate this new requirement. Travel agents may make a tentative reservation without the passenger information, but the data must be provided prior to ticketing. To enter the data at a time after booking, go to My Reservations, find your booking and click on the TSA link.

If you are holding a future reservation that has already been ticketed, you may call our reservations department 800-777-8369 at any time during normal business hours to enter the Secure Flight data. Airlines must request and collect full name, date of birth, and gender, and Redress Number (if available) as of August 15, 2009 for domestic flights and as of October 31, 2009 for international flights. However, Secure Flight will be phased-in with each airline, and some are currently requiring data before ticketing. Premier Gateway will not issue tickets without the complete data, effective August 3.
