What is a redress number and a known traveller number?

[Got2Cruise]

I went to fill out my information on the SAS website, and besides the usual, there were spaces for redress number and known traveller number. I just left it blank.

The redress number is provided to travelers who have a name that also appears on the Do Not Fly or "special screening" list when that traveler has filed a complaint with the TSA that they shouldn't be on those lists and have a like or similar name as another person.

 

Right now there isn't a known (trusted) traveler program on a Federal national or international level, but it's something that has been discussed. The Fly Clear program is the closest thing offered, but that number means nothing to the airline at this point. The space is there for future use.

 

You did the right thing by leaving it blank.
