Advanced Passenger Information (APIS)
Several government authorities require that all airlines collect Advanced Passenger Information from all passengers prior to travel.
You can register Advanced Passenger Information via My Travels.
You will be asked to provide all or some of the following information:
- all names (first, middle and last names) exactly as written in your passport
- date of birth
- gender
- passport number and country of issue
- passport expiry date
- nationality
If you're from an EEA country or Switzerland, and are travelling to the UK you may use a national ID card instead of a passport.
If you're travelling on a flight to or from the U.S., you also need to provide:
- your address in the U.S. for the first night’s stay (except for citizens or residents of the U.S.)
- your redress number (if applicable). The redress number is a reference number issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to travellers who have previously experienced difficulties obtaining entry to the U.S.
A visa may also be required for you to enter the U.S. See information regarding ESTA and the Visa Waiver program below.

You may also provide your Redress Number, if available. Failure to provide your full name, date of birth and gender may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area.
TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies or others under its published system of records notice. For more on TSA privacy policies, or to review the system of records notice and the privacy impact assessment, please see the TSA website at www.tsa.gov.
