An Etihad Plane

Etihad

If your Cruise Nation holiday includes Etihad Airlines scheduled flight, 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 Emirates check in desk where you will then be provided with your boarding passes. Online check-in is available between 24 hours and 90 minutes before your flight's departure time. 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

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.

Etihad 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 Etihad cannot accept responsibility for incorrect or incomplete data provided.

HOW CAN I PROVIDE MY API DATA?

Please go to the website www.etihad.com. Click on “Before you fly” then click on “Manage my booking”. You will need to enter your Etihad booking reference and last name, click the circle next to “Modify booking” then click “Retrieve booking”.

On the next page click on “Edit passenger details” this is where you will complete the API details and then click “Submit”.

WHEN DO I NEED TO HAVE PROVIDED MY API BY?

Ideally you should have provided your API by no later than 21 days prior to travel. Etihad will accept data from the moment that your booking has been made through us.
