I should have included that in my contribution. It includes a PNR locator code, date of reservation-issue of ticket - it is a code with which everyone is issued - dates of intended travel, name, and available frequent flier and benefits information. If someone is on the frequent flier list, one's name could end up on this. It also includes numbers of travellers, and I spoke earlier in terms of a group of people.

It includes all available contact information, including originator information; all available payment billing information not included; other transaction details linked to a credit card or account and not connected to the travel transaction; travel itinerary for specific passenger name record, PNR; travel agency code share information - again, all of those details are numbered; split or divided information; travel status of passenger, including confirmation and check-in status; ticketing information, including ticket number, one-way tickets, automated ticket fare quote, all baggage information; seat information, including seat number; general remarks including other supplementary information, OSI, special services information, SSI, and special service request, SSR, information; any advance passenger information, API, data collected for reservation purposes; and all historical changes to PNR data listed in numbers.

Any of us who have done this know that it is not always necessary that the airline would collect all of this information. It is only the information that the airline collects. We do not expect that the airline would be obliged to collect all of the information outlined. Usually, it is a case of name, address, postal code if one has one and country of birth. In some countries the information might be requested internally more than externally. The information available will simply be what the airline collects as a matter of course.
