I know many of you prefer to purchase your airline tickets directly.  With the stricter TSA (Transportation Security Administration) requirements, be aware that they should be purchased in the exact same name as on your photo identification (passport, driver’s license, etc.) that you are using for the trip.  They are currently more forgiving on domestic flights than international.

Your passport name may not be the same as your driver’s license, so be especially careful when you are purchasing international tickets.  It is costly to have the airlines change/correct your name.  You may even be denied boarding if they do not match.  Of course, making airline reservations is one of the many services provided by Gateway Destinations.
