Advanced Passenger Information (API)

What is Advanced Passenger Information or API?

Due to increased security in a wide range of countries, it is now necessary for you to provide information known as your API (Advanced Passenger Information) as soon as possible once you have made your reservation. As soon as your booking is confirmed you will receive a booking confirmation and letters containing instructions of how to complete your API for the airlines and cruise lines you are travelling with. API is mandatory and must be completed as soon as possible once you have made a reservation, failure to do so may result in your tickets not being released.

These references may also be known as a PNR (Passenger Name Record) or a Record Locator.

Majority of airlines follow a strict 6 digit alphanumeric code, example: AB3D4

EasyJet use a 7 digit alphanumeric code, example: A2C4E6G

We have a great video dedicated to the EasyJet check-in procedure, a similar process applies with other airlines. To view the video click HERE
