Due to new rules imposed by the US Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), we will now require the following information from you before we can issue an airline ticket to an international destination.
If this information is not entered into your flight record, the airline has the option to cancel your reservation without compensation. In addition to the TSA rule going into effect on November 1, 2010, many of the airline has issued their own ticketing guidelines and most will not let us issue tickets without the information in the passenger record. In an effort to comply with the new rules, Rex Travel will require all of the above information in order to issue an airline ticket on your behalf. Should you not give us this information, we cannot be held responsible for airline cancellations and changes in fare due to name changes. If you are planning travel and your passport is NOT up to date, we would suggest that you have your passport updated well in advance of departure to comply with these new TSA guidelines.
If you are flying domestically within the United States, we will need to verify your name as it appears on your Driver License OR Government issued identification that you will use to check in for the flight at the airport. Again, if your middle name or initial appears on your identification, your airline ticket will need to match. Your date of birth and gender will also need to be in your flight record.
Congratulations to our little bear, Rex Lancaster! He successfully traveled the globe for a year to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the title of 'Most Traveled Teddy Bear'. Little Rex traveled 277,442 miles and was able to visit all 7 continents (in just under 8 months)! He broke the existing record by over 72,000 miles! Guinness has sent his 'official certificate' and our world weary little bear is sitting pretty in the office working hard to make sure you can travel in little Rex style! While Little Rex is in semi-retirement, pondering what his next travel record will be, he has been busy spreading his love to some of the people and countries that he was fortunate enough to visit during his travels through Kiva. He has given micro loans for projects in Kenya and Uganda, the "stans", Asia and South America through Kiva. Rex has a budding portfolio with 44 loans to date. Rex invites you to join him in giving back to the places you have visited!

If you are sending us an e-mail or request from your AOL e-mail account, you are probably not getting our response. For some reason AOL is blocking mail from rextravel.com. (Probably has something to do with the annoying 6,000 junk e-mails we get a day and someone abusing our domain to sell their garbage.) Since we are mere mortal travel agents and do not understand all this cyber geek stuff, we do not have a quick solution for the problem. We assure you we are not ignoring you. The problem is that many times we have no name or phone number with your requests so we have no alternative way of responding to you. If you do not get a reply to your e-mail, please give us a call so that we may assist you.
