Registering your API

Your airline will usually ask you to supply the passenger details found on the ‘machine-readable' page of your passport - that is the page containing your photograph.

You may be asked for your:

* full name
* date of birth
* gender
* passport number
* country that issued your passport
* date of passport expiration

You may occasionally be asked for additional information - such as the address of your first night's stay.

Your information will be taken either at the time of booking or by an automated passport reader during check-in. In most cases, if you do not provide your API in the time required, you may not be allowed to travel.
