New Secure Flight Data (SFPD) Beginning July 1

The TSA has recently notified airlines about information regarding Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD). Beginning November 1, 2010, all reservations without full SFPD will be rejected by the TSA's Secure Flight rule and will not be processed. Operating airlines that do not comply will be subject to penalties. TSA requires the full name, date of birth and gender, as it appears on non-expired government issued photo ID that travelers plan to use for travel identification, for all passengers flying to/from/within/over the United States, and for all U.S. Operating Carriers.
Although this mandate for airlines is effective November 1, 2010, some airlines have announced they will begin enforcing the SFPD requirements as early as July 1, 2010, to ensure compliance with the TSA.
