We're flying on saturday, and ive been trying to find out about the Advanced Passenger Information requirement that all the airlines are now asking for. Theres nothing on the website, ive emailed them and received a response back asking me to ring them as I must provide advance details as flying international. Tried that, hung on for 30 minutes! Usres on another forum have had emails to say that its not required, and they can do it when they check in. I booked through Southall travel, who didnt seem to have heard of it at first, then said it wasnt necessary
Help!
Apart from lots of sales pitch the Kingfisher site is not a lot of use!

everyone seems confused by this.
We went with Kingfisher last March and were not asked for this! I think it's only certain countries that ask for it(see del's link). By the way, the best airline I have flown with
Its my first time with Kingfisher, and from all the good reports, am looking forward to the flight ! (Im usually a nervous flyer)
I'm sure your be very pleased with Kingfisher
Dear Sir/Madam
You will be required to fill out ADI form at time of check in.
Many Thanks

Certainly didn't have any problems at the airport!
PS. They were brilliant, spoilt me now for ever going cattle class again. If I had to pick a fault, and that would be very difficult, it was they we had the same films going and returning.

Looks as if the situation is serious, Glad I'm booked on Qatar in a week or so, if the Qatari's run out of funds, then we really are in dire straits

I was about to book a Kingfisher flight, now having very serious doubts about doing so
I'm booked with Thomson Airways for January, so as long as the problems don't spill over into the brewery I'll be OK.
Ohhhhh heck I am booked with them, and I am not getting any answer to my emails, so I really don't know what to do, luckily I paid for the flights through american express, so I will get the money back, but that won't help, my flying to Goa.
Good news,hope we can use our BA[Avios] miles with them for our

Kingfisher Airlines hit by safety fears
Aviation authorities are meeting with Kingfisher Airlines and another of India's largest carriers today after an internal report raised safety fears.
India's director general of civil aviation Bharat Bhushan told The Times of India that Kingfisher Airlines and Air India's budget carrier Air India Express needed to take "several steps".
The report said there was "a reasonable case" for withdrawing Kingfisher's licence if regulators believed its well-publicised financial difficulties were affecting the safety of its operations. It also said there was a case for restricting Air India Express' operations in view of safety issues.
Both carriers have defended their safety standards. Kingfisher, which is owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, said it was operating with "utmost safety".
A Kingfisher spokesman told the news agency AFP: "This is an audit which the DGCA carried out... [which] we are going to reply to at the meeting today (Thursday)."
According to one report, the audit found that of 20 of Kingfisher's 61 aircraft have been permanently parked at Indira Gandhi International airport due to poor maintenance. As a result, there have been more than 170 flights cancellations in a month.
The audit also found "major financial distress issues" with Jet Airways, JetLite, SpiceJet and GoAir, according to reports.
Most airlines in India, including the largest, Jet Airways, are loss making. According to Reuters news agency, they are on course to lose $20bn in the current financial year due to high fuel prices and on ongoing price war combined with a slowdown in the economy.
Kingfisher and Air India have been negotiating with banks for further cushion to ease their debt burden and for more working capital. Both firms have undergone debt restructuring and in September Kingfisher shut its budget arm Kingfisher Red, saying it no longer wanted to compete in the low-cost market.
Kingfisher, which flies from London to Delhi and Mumbai, will join the oneworld airline alliance on February 10.
