If your Cruise Nation holiday includes American Airlines scheduled flights, we will issue your e-tickets approximately 14 days prior to travel, these tickets will need to be printed by you and presented at the airport to the American Airlines check-in desk where you will then be provided with your boarding passes. Please ensure the airline locator is presented at check-in for your flight. Full flight details are provided on your confirmation invoice that has already been provided.
Advance Passenger Information (also known as API or APIS) means your Passport/Identity Card details and in some instances, your contact information, are provided to the authorities before you travel.
American Airlines may only provide each country's Customs & Immigration authorities with the relevant API or booking data required by law. This is governed by Data Protection laws applicable in the UK and the requesting country.
It is important that you provide API for each passenger travelling with you. Any inaccurate or incomplete data provided could delay your journey, either at check-in or with the immigration authorities. Cruise Nation nor American Airlines cannot accept responsibility for incorrect or incomplete data provided.
Please go to the website www.americanairlines.co.uk. Click on “My trips / Check-in” and enter your first name, last name and American Airlines record locator (this will be on your confirmation letter) and click on “Find reservation”.
Scroll down the page to the heading “Passengers” and click on “Add / edit passenger information” this is where you will need to complete the API data for each passenger, click on “Save” once this is done.
Ideally you should have provided your API by no later than 21 days prior to travel. American Airlines will accept data from the moment that your booking has been made through us.
