Important information for ALL passengers travelling to and from the UK on an international flight

Due to security measures from the UK Government, all airlines are required to provide advance passenger information (API or APIS) for all passengers travelling to and from the UK on an international flight. API requires Passport/valid photo ID information to be captured prior to travel. Failure to give APIS information will result in passengers not being permitted to travel.

To ensure the security measures are addressed in the most efficient and precise manner, each passenger must provide this information online prior to arriving at the airport and at least 3 hours before the standard time of departure. It is the responsibility of the passenger to ensure that the information provided is correct. A step by step guide to the process is provided below. Please complete all steps to ensure your information is submitted correctly.

Please note if this information has not been provided in full prior to arriving at the airport, there will be a charge of £5 per passenger per sector for bmibaby to administer this at the airport. You will have to go to a check in desk to provide this information. APIS data cannot be taken at the departure gate. This charge is non-refundable.

The request for the advance passenger information is a direct requirement from the UK Government and we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Step-by-step guide to providing your details online:

Step 1:
Go to the ‘Manage your bookings’ section of the website. This can also be found at: https://www.bmibaby.com/bmibaby/skylights/cgi-bin/skylights.cgi?module=C3&page=PNR_LOOKUP&language=EN&mode=0&sid= Enter your booking reference, travel dates and email address and retrieve your booking

Step 2:
Towards the top of the next page under the ‘my booking’ heading click on ‘add passport/valid photo ID details’

Step 3:
Scroll down, complete the form and click the red button marked ‘next step’

Step 4:
You will be taken back to the ‘manage your bookings’ page where you need to click on the red button at the top marked ‘complete changes’. IMPORTANT: You must press this button to complete the process. Without doing so your information doesn’t get submitted and you will have to supply the information again at the airport attracting a £5 per passenger per sector charge.
