Due to a new Federal requirement, the traveler's birth date and gender will be required for TSA use. This information will need to be provided for all passengers booked from March 12, 2009 and beyond. The new Federal law goes into effect May 1, 2009. So we will be asking for this information when making reservations.

We will also need the middle name or initial if it appears on the traveler's passport or Gov't issued ID. This is also a new requirement.

Passports are NOW Mandatory to Travel

Consular Information Program
Before traveling, obtain the Consular Information Sheet for Mexico and any other countries you plan to visit. You should also check to see if the Department of State has issued a Travel Warning or public Announcement for the country or countries you will be visiting. Travel Warnings are issued when the Department of State decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend that all Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Public Announcements are issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions which would pose significant risks to the security of American travelers. Consular Information Sheets are available for every country in the world. They include such information as the location as the location of the U.S. embassy or consulate in the country, unusual immigration practices, health conditions, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and security information, and drug penalties. A description of political disturbances may be included in the Consular Information Sheet under an optional section entitled "Areas of Instability." On limited occasions, the Department also restates in this section U.S. Embassy advice given to official employees. Consular Information Sheets present information so that travelers can make knowledgeable decisions concerning travel to a particular country. Countries where we suggest that you not travel will have Travel Warnings as well as Consular Information Sheets.
