Advance Passenger Information (API)

The governments of various countries require airlines to collect passport and associated information from passengers before they travel. Some airlines have a facility for you to provide API information in advance of arriving at the airport, which will enable you to avoid queues and delays at check-in. Remember you will also be required to give your API information when you complete NCL’s Online Check-In.

Please note that it is mandatory to provide British Airways API information at least 7 days before departure to selected destinations. If you are travelling with British Airways, when you receive your NCL documents go to www.ba.com, click “manage my booking” and enter your British Airways booking reference number (in some cases access to your booking may be restricted) and provide the required information.
