TSA RULES & REGULATIONS UPDATE FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2010
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With heightened security regulations now fully enforced by the TSA, it is important that we collect all pertinent data from our valued passengers to ensure a smooth and trouble-free journey.

At a suitable time, we request that you kindly email us a high-resolution scanned copy of the PERSONAL PAGES of your valid passport to enable us to provide the airlines with the information that they require. The primary information would be the accuracy of your names, your title, your valid passport number, date of issue & expiration, as well as your full date of birth.

We also need to receive your FULL residential address information as well as every possible telephone number and email address to update our files in the event of us having to reach you.

If you are unable to scan your passport, you can take a digital photograph of the required information and email it to us that way – and if all else fails, you can photocopy your passport in high resolution and fax it to our secure fax line on 1-212-385-9777. Again, please be reminded that no airline tickets can be issued without this required mandatory information – your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You should also take a moment to make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6-months AFTER your intended return home to the United States and that you have at least 2 consecutive blank pages in your passport for issuing a visa to visit the Republic of South Africa. If you do not have 2 consecutive blank pages, South African Immigration Authorities reserve the right to deport you immediately. NOTE – the Republic of Kenya has implemented the same rule at this time and is it highly probable that Tanzania and other East African countries will soon follow – in summary, the more consecutive blank pages you have in your passport, the better!

We take your travel arrangements very seriously and strive to provide you with a trouble free journey – please assist us by complying with this request at a suitable time. If you have already provided us with this information, kindly disregard this BLOG/EMAIL notification!

SECURE FLIGHT - DO IT NOW

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2009
NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently updated its privacy notice from the notice originally published in the Secure Flight Final Rule. The updated notice more clearly communicates to passengers that failure to provide full Secure Flight Passenger Data may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area.

Since providing Secure Flight data elements in the Passenger Name Record (PNR) is the best remedy for avoiding a boarding pass restriction that would force a customer to the airport ticket counter, travel agents should include all Secure Flight data elements in every PNR, domestic and international. Required Secure Flight passenger data elements include: passenger full name, date of birth and gender.

2AFRIKA, INC. is mindful of your safety and security at all times and will be following the instructions as set out by the Transportation Security Administration.

2AFRIKA, INC. remains committed to 'Keeping Africa Affordable', 'Corporate Social Responsibility in Tourism' but most importantly, the comfort, security and safety of its valued passengers!
