What is Secure Flight and what does it do?
To improve the travel experience of all flight passengers, the government brought a secure flight program to streamline the security watch-list matching process.
What information will be collected by Secure Flight?
The Secure Flight program demands all airlines to provide a correct passenger's name as shown on the official ID used for travel; DOB; Gender; and Redress number (if applicable).
Why is Secure Flight Collecting this information?
The Transportation Security Administration decided that collecting additional birth and gender data could surely decrease the number of passengers misidentified as a match to the watch list.
What happens if my airline didn’t ask for any additional information?
As a passenger, you shouldn’t be concerned if your airline doesn’t ask you to provide additional information. It should not affect your travel.
If the name printed on my boarding pass is different from what appears on my government ID, will I still be able to fly?
For hustle-free travel, you’re advised to ensure that the name you provide during your booking matches the name of your official documents such as your passport. This is the name used by the TSA for security purposes. Your boarding pass will only be issued after the TSA has reviewed your given information.
How do I know if I am on the No-Fly list?
If you have issued a boarding pass, you’re not on the No-FLy List. If you are still denied boarding, you may seek redress through the Department of Homeland Security.
