TSA Secure Flight program
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Secure Flight program shifts pre-departure watch list matching responsibilities from individual airlines to the TSA. The mission of the Secure Flight program is to enhance the security of domestic and international commercial air travel through the use of improved watch list matching.
Under the new Secure Flight rule, the TSA mandates that air carriers request specific information from passengers who are booking travel.
How will Secure Flight affect you?
United will request the following information from all customers at the time of booking:
- Full name (first, middle name or initial, and last, as it appears on the valid, government-issued photo ID that you will present at the airport);
- Date of birth;
- Gender; and
- Redress number (if applicable).*
*Those who encounter misidentification are invited to apply for Redress at www.dhs.gov/trip to help prevent watch list matching misidentifications in the future.
All reservations made on unitedairlines.de must contain Secure Flight information at the time of booking. To add your Secure Flight information to an existing reservation, log in to My Itineraries.
Please note: TSA requires that all reservations contain Secure Flight information a minimum of 72 hours prior to travel or at the time of ticketing, which ever comes first.
Failure to provide your Secure Flight information may result in denial of transportation.
Save your Secure Flight information
You can save your Secure Flight information to your unitedairlines.de profile by logging in to My Profile. The saved information will be added to your reservation every time you book travel on unitedairlines.de.
If you book your flight on a website other than unitedairlines.de, or with a travel agent, you may need to re-enter your Secure Flight information before checking in.
