Flights out of Leeds Bradford Jet 2 (Important) : Sun Jul 12, 2009 1:24 pm  

Warning! NEW Government Regulations
From March 2009, Jet2.com is legally required to provide the UK Home Office with passport data for all passengers departing from and arriving into the UK. You are therefore required to provide Jet2.com with accurate travel document information. You may provide this data anytime between the time of your booking and 5 hours before departure. Failure to provide accurate data may result in you being denied boarding.
You may enter this data below by clicking on next to each passenger name.

You have to go onto jet 2 homepage, click on manage booking in the bottom left hand corner and then enter your booking reference on the next screen and follow the instructions as above. Don't understand why they have not sent e-mails out to worn everyone about the changes, sounds like you may not be able to fly without doing so. I only found out because i went on to add an extra bag onto our booking.

Is this not just if you are travelling to Spain (or any of its territories)? The UK and Spanish government have done a deal whereby they will pre screen all visitors and share passenger lists, but I'm not aware of this being in place for any other countries.

We are flying Ryaniar and I've not been asked to provide any of this information other than through my chosen Online check in process. I chose to do this rather than it being mandatory as it was quite a bit cheaper.

You may well be right Rossfax, however it's worth double checking. I fly Low Cost quite a bit and am aware of the Spain issue but not any other country. Based on your post though, I will be just double checking my own flight just in case I've missed something

Cheers
