You need to have full Secure Flight Passenger Data in your reservation at least 72 hours before your flight. If you make a reservation within 72 hours of flight departure, all information must be provided when booking.
Then, whenever you book on aa.com (as long as you’re logged in) all the required Secure Flight data will be automatically saved in your reservation – no extra steps needed!

Additionally, personal data is collected, used, distributed, stored and disposed of in accordance with stringent guidelines and all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
