Why am I asked to give my passport name, gender, and date of birth when booking air travel?
Updated
We ask for your passport name, gender, and date of birth due to global security regulations. These details help ensure your booking matches your official ID, preventing any issues at check-in and making your travel experience smooth and secure!
Please note that if the airline reservation does not match the name exactly as it appears on your passport or other government-issued ID being used at the time of travel, you may not be allowed to board the plane.
It is also important that this information be provided correctly at the time of booking, as any changes to your air booking, which includes spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, higher fares, a new schedule, and/or cancellation.
