Amend APIS Info Flow
This flow demonstrates the end-to-end process for performing an Amend APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) operation. The Amend APIS function allows customers or agents to update or correct passenger identity information associated with an existing booking — such as passport details, nationality, or date of birth. This ensures compliance with government travel requirements and enables accurate transmission of passenger data to border control authorities prior to departure.
The sample below outlines all required API interactions, including order retrieval, passenger selection, split request submission, and confirmation of the newly created order, ensuring both the original and split orders are correctly updated and linked.
Process Overview
- Retrieve the existing booking - using the booking reference or order ID.
- Verify eligibility for APIS amendment - ensuring the booking is active and within the permitted update window (e.g., before check-in or departure).
- Capture updated APIS fields - such as passport number, expiry date, issuing country, nationality, or residence.
- Submit the amended APIS data - to the reservation or order system for processing.
