Ted,

Personally I'd shorten the title, it does not need to say "Enter the", keep
them as brief as possible to the point of being curt.
Otherwise you can imagine the amount of excess noise that is generated.
Alt attributes have no place here.
Title attributes are better than nothing.
Labels, even hidden, would best suit the purpose.
Although a few arguments have arisen here over the exact semantics to use.
There are always more than one correct solution, usually dependent on where
your mindset came from.
The labelling you've implemented is not really much help it only labels the
first row as the id's are unique.
Try this instead:
<tr>
<th scope="col">Traveler #</th>
<th scope="col">First Name</th>
<th scope="col">Last Name</th>
<th scope="col">Age</th>
</tr>
Along with the briefest of titles on each input.
If your aim is to produce code to WAI priorities above level A then you will
need to add labels to each input.
As previously mentioned they do not have to be visible though do not use
display:none or visibility:hidden.
There are other techniques which do work well.
Good luck
