Required travel documents





Remember that a passport is required for all international flights. Please make sure you check the regulations or immigration requirements every time you make an international trip, as these regulations are constantly changing.

Please note that it is your responsibility to hold all entry, departure and health documents and any other document required by the destination country. If you're not sure what the immigration requirements are, we recommend you check with the consulate / embassy of the destination country before purchasing the ticket.

We invite you to use this tool to see all the information about the passport, visa and health requirements for international journeys. Go to the IATA Travel Centre, and travel relaxed, safe in the knowledge you have all the correct documentation.

From/To United States

For all your journeys to and from, or within, the United States territory, your reservation must contain the exact information displayed on your passport. From November 1, 2010, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) requires that all reservations include:



     
  • Names and surnames exactly as they appear in your passport.
  • Date of Birth.
  • Gender.

During screening for boarding at the departure airport, the TSA will determine in real-time, whether the registered information matches the reservation information and if it fulfills the required conditions.

If the information is not the same the United States TSA will deny access to air service, regardless of the airline.

Authorities and airlines have mechanisms that ensure the privacy of your personal information. For more information please visit www.tsa.gov
