http://www.thomascookairlines.co.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/367

ive never heard of this. has any one here heard of it?

[blondie]

Yes, it's been in force for quite a while now and it's really easy to do - just follow the link

Hi mick i had the same and had to go in and complete this apparentley this is now required on all flights T**** C*** sent me a email stating that API was required as part of the booking hope this helps mick

Its exactly the same as youve had too do for Spain for years. If you book at Travel agents they just take photocopy of yours passports and do the rest for you. However if you book on-line you just follow link and fill in as requested.

thanks guys.
been travelling to turkey for years with H4U and never came across this. booked with T C travel shop and they said nothing about this but it is on the front sheet of the travel confermation.
going to do it on line this after noon. problem is, theres 16 of us a logistical nightmare. its bound to turn into an afternoon party. pity theres no sun today they were only here last night. last one went about 4am hick#!

Hope youre not too hung over coz you need to get the details exactly right as they appear on passports - cant afford to get a single letter or digit wrong!

[doris]

do you need to do it every time you travel to turkey.

[jivebunnie0]

Yes, everytime, unfortunately.

just to set a few things straight on this subject .we flew this year with T C and i forgot to fill in the api online before we flew , but read the small print on the tickets and it said all the info needed could be found when we check in at the airport and thats what happened , we got there and back with no problems . was wondering if people dont have access to tinternet then what would you do ? personally we panicked for no reason so wonder what all the fuss is about.
