Do you have another classed PassengerData? If so, you need to post it so when can run the program, or even better, you could post a screenshot of the GUI.

Here...passengerdata

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.swing.*;

public class PassengerData implements Serializable
{
    
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String mealType;
    private String seat;
    private String classType;
    private String flightNo;
    private int checkEnter;
    
    public PassengerData() {
        firstName = "";
        lastName = "";
        mealType = "";
        seat = "";
        classType = "";
        flightNo = "";
        checkEnter = 0;
    }
           
    public PassengerData( String fName, String lName, String mealT, String sT, String classT, String flightN, int checkE )
    {
        setRecord( fName, lName, mealT, sT, classT, flightN, checkE );
    }
    
    public void setRecord( String fName, String lName, String mealT, String sT, String classT, String flightN, int checkE )
    {
        firstName = fName;
        lastName = lName;
        mealType = mealT;
        seat = sT;        
        classType = classT;
        flightNo = flightN;
        checkEnter = checkE;
    }
        
     public String getFirstName()
    {
        return firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName()
    {
        return lastName;
    }   

    public String getMealType()
    {
        return mealType;
    }    
    
    public String getSeat()
    {
        return seat;
    }
    
    public String getClassType()
    {
        return classType;
    }
    
    public String getflightNo()
    {
        return flightNo;
    }
    
    public int getCheckEnter(){
        
        return checkEnter;
    }
}

Alright, I see what your saying now. At first I was going to say some nested JPanels, but I think it's too good of a project to go down that road. Since you need a lot of control as to were these components go, I would suggest using the setBounds() method. It lets you place components anywere you like; it even lets you decide the width and the height of the component. Of course it will take some trial and error to get the components were you like! Anyways, the project looks great so far. I can tell you've spent a lot of time on it. Keep up the good work.

Here is a sample of the setbounds:

JButton btn = new JButton("Button");
btn.setBounds(30,30,60,40);

The setbounds looks like this:
setBounds(int X, int Y, int width, int height);


Now, with the setbounds, you DON'T use a layout manager. You simply set the layout manager to null.
setLayout(null);

It's important to remember that.

The program is 90% done :D...everything works except for one little thing...
THe date doesn't appear to be working :( I tried messing around with the true false but it doesn't seem to have any affect....any one know the problem? Any help would be appreciated :D
