Late submission of API data - what's going to happen?

Late submission of API data - what's going to happen? - Colorful glowing neon signboard with word open and timetable on urban avenue in late evening

I regularly fly to the US from the UK. I'm due to fly tomorrow, but only found out when attempting online checkin that the airline hadn't asked for the required API data.

I've now submitted it (14 hours before flight) but what's likely to happen when I arrive at the checkin desk? And is there anything I can do to smooth the way?



Best Answer

API is the responsibility of the airline, not the passenger; so I would not worry about it as I am sure you are not the first last-minute passenger that they have dealt with.

Nothing should happen when you arrive at the desk. In fact, for those passengers that also forgot to enter this, the airline collects this information (if you note, its the information on the ID page of your passport) and submits it.
