Dear Sir/Madam,

Please convey following information to all travel agents under your jurisdiction.
 
TSA (transportation security administration) of USA reiterating the need for inserting Secured Flight Data and Honorific Titles for all passengers traveling on US bound flights.  
 
The insertion of Secured Flight Data (SSR DOCS, DOCO, DOCA) in all PNRs for travel into, out of or over the USA in mandatory as per the directives of US Department of Homeland Security, and it is extremely important and necessary that all agencies are advised of this requirement.
 
Ensure this information is entered into all existing bookings, if this information has not been entered the PNR will have to be cancelled prior to D-3 days.     
 
Any booking made within D-3 days will have this information at the time of creation of PNR as this information will be sent automatically to the US Department of Homeland Security on the end of PNR creation.
 
Currently the AI reservation system does not reject bookings without this information, therefore it is absolutely essential to check all bookings and ensure this information has been entered.
 
If any passenger travels without this information in the PNR, the fine levied by the US Department of Homeland Security will have to be debited to the agent responsible for the booking.

Thanks/Regards
