Do boarding passes show passport number or nationality?
I am exiting Japan soon and want to show one passport to leave and another to the airline. Does the official who stamps the exit stamp ask to see boarding pass? Do boarding passes show passport numbers/nationality, or only name?
Best Answer
To answer the second part of your question, boarding passes sometimes do show passport numbers.
Examining my collection of old boarding passes, a self-printed easyjet boarding pass, as well as boarding passes from Air New Zealand and KLM, all show my passport number.
Also, I have a Lufthansa boarding pass that while not showing a passport number, does indicate the nationality of my passport.
As to the first part of your question, I am not sure about the specifics for Japan, but countries vary as to whether the boarding pass is requested by the immigration authorities or not. As mentioned in the comments to your question, see I have two passports/nationalities. How do I use them when I travel? for how to use the two passports while travelling.
