The governments of various countries require British Airways to collect Advance Passenger Information from passengers prior to travel. We will only provide each country’s Customs and Immigration Authorities with the relevant information required by them, however some governments require airlines to provide them with direct access to airline passenger bookings (PNRs) which may contain other passenger data. It is important that the information is accurate so you pass through Immigration on arrival in these countries without delay.
We strongly recommend that you provide your Advance Passenger Information to us in advance of going to the airport. You can do this at any time in advance of your flight through Manage My Booking or when you check in at ba.com. If you do not have internet access, you can give us the information at an airport Check-in kiosk or airport Check-in desk.
