Hi All
I have just completed our API but to be honest it seems like a bit of security OTT, all the information is held on your passport anyway, and they scan that both at your departing airport and arrival airport this just seems like another piece of beurocratic busy bodying again.

It is far better to provide this information in advance, then routine security checks can be carried out prior to arrival at the airport, and any unnecessary delays can be avoided.
Suspicious travellers can be identified before they arrive at the airport/on the aircraft. It may seem unnecessary to 'normal law-abiding citizens', but anything that keeps our Air Travel Safe is OK with me!

Is this correct

Yep they need to be completed before you leave.
Travel Companys have them on their web sites. Just complete it and send.
If there is any major diffs then you can fill them in at the airport

It does depend which airline you are flying with though. My parents went last week with Monarch through Travel Repulic and they didn't need to do anything beforehand.
This is part of an email i recieved from Monarch Airlines:

Thanks everyone, I think ours will be done at the airport
Sorry guys it looks like you got the wrong end of the stick on my post, what i meant was all the information asked for on an api is already on your passport, all this information is already stored on an international security system so they already know who they are looking four i.e suspicious characters,
so i imagine that this government already knows when somebody sus or useing a fake or stolen passport is traveling if we are to believe what they keep telling us.That they are on top of the situation.

DOA,
You aren't the only one to struggle with API on Thomas Cooks website! Just keep trying and if you don't have any luck, don't worry, you can provide the information at check-in.

thanks Darren
Hi booked with On the beach and flying with onur air this Friday morning and have check out the manage your booking part of the site and cannot find any information regarding anything to do with API, will it be done at the airport do you think.
perrydog,
Different tour operators are collecting it in different ways. Have you tried looking in 'Manage Your Booking'? If not, they are collecting API information at check-in.

Hi Thanks for your very quick answer Darren, my mind was working overtime just then.
Are we supposed to bring the completed API copies to the airport. I completed mine on Thompsons web site and pressed send. Suppose they should have a copy
It's all done online - you don't have to do anything else or print a copy off to take to the airport with you.
