Q:
My name is spelt incorrectly on my flight ticket, what can I do?

It is not possible to change your name on an airline ticket. The ticket will have to be cancelled and a new ticket will need to be issued (cancellation penalties will apply). When booking, please review your information carefully and ensure that the name of each passenger is entered correctly. If there is a minor error after you have placed a booking, please use the Contact Us form to alert us of the correct spelling. We will need to contact the airline to request a name change and we cannot guarantee that they will be able to make the change.

Q:
Travelling to the United States - Advanced Passenger Information Requirements?
|
|
|
When travelling to the USA , please be prepared to give full details of where you will be staying on your first night, including address and full zip code (post code).
These details will also be required to give this information prior to your flight departure. In view of this please allow extra time to check in.
The details, which need to be provided to US Customs, are termed “Advanced Passenger Information” (or API for short) and must be provided before one enters the country.
The API details that need to be provided include:
- The address of the place where the passenger is spending his/her first night in the USA
- And the addresses of all the places the person plans to visit during that first day within the country (e.g. such as a business address)
If the address of the first night stay is not known (e.g. in the case of a fly-drive) then a general itinerary needs to be supplied.
If one is entering the country via a Cruise ship or sea vessel, then US regulations will accept a “transit to” address followed by the Vessel/Cruise Name and the U.S. City of cruise embarkation, as a destination address in this scenario.
Failure to provide this information on entering the country could cause severe delays to the immigration process and may lead to fines being imposed on the airlines. 'Transit passengers' (i.e. those passing through the country, spending less than 8 hours in the USA and not leaving the airport) are exempt.
Many of the major airlines are also making every effort to ensure that the API requirements are fulfilled in a timely fashion before entering the country and are assisting passengers in getting the details to US customs in a timely fashioned.
We advise that all persons travelling to the US allow an extra hour for check in and plan ahead to have details of where they are staying in the US before leaving the UK along with passport and flight tickets.
