If your Cruise Nation holiday includes Qantas Airways 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 Qantas Airways check in desk where you will then be provided with your boarding passes. Online check-in is available 24 hours up until 30 minutes before flight departure for Domestic flights or 24 hours up until 2 hours before flight departure for International flights. 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.

Qantas 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 Qantas Airways can accept responsibility for incorrect or incomplete data provided.

HOW CAN I PROVIDE MY API DATA?

Please go to the website www.qantas.com. On the right hand side of the main screen within the dark blue box, choose "Manage Your Booking". You will need to enter your Qantas booking reference (which can be found on your confirmation letter) and last name and click on “Go”.

On the next page, scroll down until you see "Passenger Details" and click on "Enter APIS" in Red. On this next page you will find the form to be completed. Please enter the required information in the fields provided and then click on "Submit". Please do this for each passenger travelling on your booking.

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. Qantas will accept data from the moment that your booking has been made through us.
