How to request your travel records

If you have travelled internationally to, from, or via the USA, and want
to find out what records the government is keeping about your travels,
I've posted forms to request your PNR's and other records of your
international travel that are being kept by the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS):

If you travelled on an airline based in the European Union, or made your
reservations or bought your ticket in the EU or from an airline office or
travel agency or tour operator in the EU, you can also request your
records (including an accounting of what information they passed on
directly to the DHS or outsourced or transferred to Computerized
Reservation Systems (CRS's) or other commercial entities in the USA),
from the airline, travel agency, tour operator, or CRS. Even if they
claim that you "consented" to data sharing, EU laws require that they
disclose, on request, exactly what data about you they have "shared", and
with whom. Note that you can make such a requets of a USA-based airline
if you bought your ticket from them in Europe. EU data protection law is
applicable whenever data is originally collected in the EU, regardless of
your citizenship or where the company is based. I've posted separate
forms for requests to an airline, travel agency or tour operator, and CRS.
