Don't we have to enter passport number when booking US domestic airline tickets?
I booked an airline ticket for a domestic flight in the US through www.aa.com, and it does not ask for any passport details. Is this normal? Also the site says that it take 3 hours to send ticket confirmation.
Is this normal?
Best Answer
This is all very normal. A passport is not required for a domestic flight in the US, and many Americans do not have passports, but you will need one of the forms of ID accepted by the TSA (a passport is one of them). US airlines do not collect passport information for domestic flights, just full name, date of birth, and gender.
A delay while the booking is ticketed through the airline's IT systems is also typical. In my experience, they usually quote an estimate of a few hours, but it often takes just a few minutes.

Is passport mandatory for domestic flights in USA?
As of February 2021, there are no states that require passports from U.S. citizens to fly domestically. Your airline or the TSA should never ask you to present a valid passport. Of course, you can always carry it with you for additional identification in case you lose your other forms of ID.Do you need a passport to book a local flight?
