advanced passenger information

<< < (6/9) > >>

don:
It does have a lot of reading though!

swedebasher:
The API website (government) says that the travel companies release the details just prior to flight to the COUNTRY you are going to- I take it that means the Greek Borders Agency or whatever they have over there. Shame it was not announced more loudly given the threat of flight refusal, and what happens if you do not have any computers to register the details?? So next year I will have to go through the stupid charade three times ::)

don:
Note.... We never get asked to leave a passport at reception on arrival. Does the API get passed all down the line. For example immigration departments?

Jimbo:
You can find the text of the email that I have sent to Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP here:

I hope you will all agree with this. If not, raise any other points and I will pass them on. What concerns me is not that we have to give the details, but that the process may be frightening for some people.

swedebasher:
Well reasoned letter Jim and lucidly put. You have hit upon one very good point...so what is the point of the passport scanners at the airports- surely this info can be sent down the line. I for one am uncomfortable with any government organisation holding details given their cavalier attitude to security and ahem, losing data.
