TSA Secure Flight Information |
|
|
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is introducing Secure Flight, a program to help enhance the security of domestic and
international commercial air travel through the use of improved watch list matching.
In accordance with this new policy, you will notice changes to our reservation process which have been made to obtain the necessary Secure
Flight Passenger Data for reservations purchased beginning September 15, 2009. Please note that SFPD is not being collected
from AA passengers whose tickets were issued prior to September 15, 2009, regardless of their travel date.
How will this affect you?
When you purchase a reservation on AA.com or through an American Airlines Representative, you will need to provide the following information:
- Full Name (first name, middle name and last name, as it appears on the non-expired government-issued photo ID that you will use when traveling)
- Date of Birth
- Gender
- Redress Number (if applicable)*
If you book/purchase your reservations through a travel agency or an online booking agent, you may be asked to provide the above information as well.
Update your AAdvantage account profile now
We strongly encourage you to store the additional required Secure Flight Passenger Data in your AAdvantage account profile. Then, every
time you make a reservation with us, we'll automatically populate this information for you. Additionally, to ensure your AAdvantage miles
will continue to post to your account automatically, please check the name on your AAdvantage account to ensure it matches the full first
and last name that will appear on your ticket.
Note that adding or deleting a middle name or initial will not affect
our ability to credit miles to your account.
Should you need to make adjustments to the
name on your account, we're providing a one-time
option to do so via AA.com. You will be required
to provide both your date of birth and gender
in order to update the name on your account.
To update your Secure Flight Passenger Data,
click 'Edit' next to your name.

How will my information be kept private?
Privacy of individuals' personal information is an integral part of the Secure Flight program. TSA will collect the minimum amount of personal
information necessary to conduct effective watch list matching. Additionally, personal data will be collected, used, distributed, stored and
disposed of in accordance with stringent guidelines and all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
