@alinaatayyab thank you and your team for this first contribution, it's so complete that it probably needed a full post! Great work 💪
I'm a bit unsure about the first reccomendation, I personally do not like KYC much and it is a responsability of teh user to place the correct information as displayed in the ID otherwise there's a risk the booking will be nulled. So my question for you is: how we can we ensure smooth reservation without the need to provide a full KYC verification? would full name, DOB and ID number enough for the booking company to confirm the flight?
