jQuery for loop, AJAX call

I've got a form that collects passenger's details.

The fields it collects are :

passenger-firstname 
passenger-surname   
passenger-address1  
passenger-address2  
passenger-town
passenger-passportnumber

After each passenger I am adding a number (Dependant on what's selected)

So the items would then look like :

passenger1-firstname    
passenger1-surname  
passenger1-address1 
passenger1-address2 
passenger1-town
passenger1-passportnumber

passenger2-firstname    
passenger2-surname  
passenger2-address1 
passenger2-address2 
passenger2-town
passenger2-passportnumber

This number changes dependant on how many have been selected

What I'd like to do (On form submit) is to loop through passenger variables and send them to an AJAX call, Which in turn I will store in a PHP session.

var num_travellers = $('.num_travellers').val();

// For loop through travellers
for (i = 0; i < num_travellers; i++)
{
   var passenger_firstname[i] = $('.passenger[i]-firstname').val();
   alert(passenger_firstname);
}

However, When I do this, I get the error message

SyntaxError: missing ; before statement Source File: var passenger[i];

How can I fix this issue and in turn submit it as AJAX? I'm open to changing it to an array or anything of that sort.

Thanks

You can't declare an array like this:

var passenger[i];

Either declare a single variable:

var passenger;

Or declare an array:

var passengers = [];

Maybe you meant to declare the array outside the loop and push to it in the loop? Something like this?:

var passengers = [];
for (i = 0; i < num_travellers; i++)
{
    var passenger;
    alert(passenger); // doesn't make sense, it's undefined at this time

    // set the value to something here?  perhaps this?:
    passenger = {
        firstname: 'some value',
        surname: 'another value',
        etc: 'more values'
    };

    passengers.push(passenger);
}

It's not entirely clear what you're trying to accomplish here, but at the very least the syntax isn't correct for creating an array.

You have to define a variable, then assign the passenger[i] to it. 

var vPassenger = passenger[i];
alert(vPassenger)

To create an array and push all passengers to it.

var passengers;
for (i = 0; i < num_travellers; i++)
{
 passengers.push(passenger[i])
}
