Secure Flight Information Requirements

Flights to the USA and China are designated as ‘Secure Flights’ by regulatory bodies and require the inclusion of extra passenger information (Secure Flight Passenger Data, or SFPD) during the booking process.

What is Required?

To ensure compliance with provider and government regulations, you must include specific identifying details for each passenger in the reservation. This information is mandatory for ticket issuance:

• Date of Birth (DOB)
• Passport Information (or other government-approved identification details)
• Gender, as indicated on government-issued ID
• Redress Number/Canadian Travel Number (where applicable)

Missing Information Warning

If the mandatory Secure Flight information is not provided when attempting to ticket the reservation, the provider will reject the request, and an error will be returned.
