Travel System to Modify Process

Week of June 22, 2009

Minor changes are scheduled to take place within the Defense Department's travel reservation system later this summer to support the Transportation Security Administration's new pre-flight screening program. Under the current format, when travelers arrange flight, hotel and rental car reservations online at the Defense Travel System website, the only personal information the site processes through to the vendors is the traveler's first name, last name and middle initial. Now, after the system and website modifications take effect, the traveler's date of birth and gender will be included to comply with the TSA's Secure Flight Program. The changed will be entered only once by the traveler and then saved to their profile on the DTS website.
