ABOUT TSA Secure Flight program
On August 15, the Travel Security Administration (TSA) began phasing in a program to require your customers provide their full name, date of birth and gender when purchasing an airline ticket. Their goal is to be fully implemented in early 2010 for all domestic flights and the end of 2010 for all international flights.
Although this program is receiving a lot of publicity, it is important to know that it is a phased process and each airline will incorporate changes into their systems over the coming months as their capability to capture passenger data is integrated into their individual systems..
Beginning September 10, the following vendors that Traveliggy.Com uses as Travel Partners will offer an interim solution using the APIS information form to collect and transmit the Secure Flight Passenger Data to the airlines:
Funjet Vacations
United Vacations
Southwest Vacations
