What does API mean on my boarding pass?
This is known as Advance Passenger Information (API). Your airline will let you know what they need from you. Usually, they will ask you to provide these details when you book your flight or check in.
Do US citizens need to fill out APIs?
APIS data must be collected for all passengers traveling to the U.S., Guam, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands as well as any other country as required by law. For passengers traveling to the U.S. an address for the first night’s stay is also required.
How does an API relate to social media marketing?
They allow you to post, comment and like posts on behalf of your account. The advantage of software built on social media APIs is that you’re able to view multiple accounts in one place.
How do travel websites work?
Online travel agencies work by plugging into a “global distribution system,” which is a fancy name for the market where airlines tell distributors what they’re charging for their flights. When you book directly on an airline’s website, your ticket typically gets issued almost immediately.
When should I submit an API?
All names and Advance Passenger Information (API) must be added at the same time and for all passengers in your group at least 14 days before departure. Once you submit your group API information you’ll receive an email to acknowledge receipt.
Can I do API at the airport?
If the airline offers check-in desks at the airport, you’ll be able to supply API information when you arrive at the airport. You can still log in and make changes if you’ve already provided your API. For security, you’ll need to re-enter the passport number you originally gave us.
