Delta Advance Passenger Information- HELP!

**Carol J** · 30 Mar 10, 08:36 PM

Hi all
We are flying Delta for the first time this year. We input advance passenger info on the Virgin website last year, but I can't find out how to do the same for Delta? Or don't they need it? I have checked website and emailed their customer services but no luck so far.

I would hate to reach check in to be told its necesary. Hope someone can help

I am flying with Delta on Thursday and havent done it.

I have logged onto my itinerary plenty of times and it hasnt prompted me to do it.

They wouldnt refuse you flying though, you would just get a mardy check in agent who had to stand and do it there and then... I imagine!

I might log in to my account now and see... will let you know x

OK So it wont let me check in because its more than 24 hours ...when my parents recently travelled with BA and when I checked them in online within the 24 hour system I loaded the APR (advance passenger registration) then, it only took minutes.

I work in travel and am aware its a very new thing so they are not refusing to fly or anything ----- yet! lol

I am flying internally when in the US Tampa to Vegas with Delta. I asked about the API, and they did not know what i was talking about, after i explained , they said no they did not do it. Do not know about flying from The UK

API isn't new - you're thinking of ESTA aren't you?

Hello

Yeah you can enter in your passport details upon the online check in 24 hours prior to travel.

I am unable to do an online check in cos I have an infant travelling, but you could see down the options the 'identity confirmation' was the next section.

Hope that helps x
