KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: Advance Passenger Information System
From October 2003 the US required comprehensive traveller data in advance for international air arrivals, including sending PNR details shortly after departure. While machine-readable passports provide much data, additional details such as home residence and US address are also required, and from 26 October 2004 travellers from certain visa-waiver countries needed machine-readable passports and were subject to fingerprints and photos on entry; the entry directs readers to CAPPS.

KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: AD75
Under IATA Resolution 880, each appointed IATA agency may receive up to two 75% discounted tickets per calendar year from each IATA airline. Eligibility is normally limited to full-time employees directly involved in selling travel who have worked for the IATA agency for 12 continuous months, and staff eligibility lists are meant to be maintained in each country; similarly ARC and IATAN maintain lists in the US. The entry adds that in the US “agent” often refers to an individual person, so lists record eligible people rather than businesses, and the discounted fares may also be known as PEP (Product Experience Program) fares.
