The immigration authorities of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, China, India*, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States require all airlines to provide passenger passport information prior to departure of any inbound flight to ensure safety and security. If you are traveling to one of these countries, you can still use online check-in where available, provided that all of the relevant passport information for you and anyone traveling with you has been completed. If any passport information is missing or incorrect, you can add or edit that information through the online check-in system. Please note that all travel in such instances is subject to the approval of immigration authorities in the destination country. Learn more about Advanced Passenger Information (API).
