Italy Travelers - Be Sure to Update Middle Name!

At our last meeting I demonstrated how to log in to your EF Account and update your middle name, if necessary. If you were not at the meeting, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you do so sometime soon. Otherwise we may face problems with airline tickets.

Here is a message I received today from EF regarding this issue:

In the next few days your travelers will receive an email from EF informing them about some important changes made by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As part of the TSA’s Secure Flight Program, all airline tickets must reflect the passengers’ names exactly as they appear on their passports, including middle names or initials if applicable. Previously only first and last names were required.All airline tickets will be issued with the name on the traveler’s EF Educational Tours account. We are asking your travelers to log in at eftours.com/login and verify that their names are correct as they appear in the My Profile section. They will be able to enter a middle name or initial if applicable.

Please confirm this information by November 1, 2009, to avoid any issues associated with processing your airline tickets.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please stop in and see me and I can help you make the change (if needed). Otherwise, I can answer questions via email as well.
