What if I book travel with a travel agent? Will they know to start sending the additional Secure Flight data elements?
Passengers should ensure that the name, date of birth, and gender that the travel agency uses to book their travel match the information on their government-issued ID used when traveling. Airline and travel agency systems may not be able to support changes to the way passenger names are currently stored in various accounts. Airlines and travel agencies have been making the changes to their systems necessary to update passenger information to a format compatible with the Secure Flight requirements. Although it might be challenging to make these modifications now, passengers should find it progressively easier.
