Old passport number on airline reservation
I have a confirmed electronic air ticket to visit USA and Canada which is confirmed with my old passport. But I have obtained a new passport for USA visit. Will there be any problems when I will check in at the airport counter?
Best Answer
No, the passport and Advance Passenger Information merely need to be correct at the time you check in. You can update the information at check in, either online or at the desk.
Remember that, if you are a visa waiver national travelling under an ESTA, you will need a fresh ESTA with each new passport you use to enter the United States. If you have been approved before it usually processes within one minute.

Does your plane ticket have to match your ID exactly?
Can I travel under an incorrect name? Definitely not. Under the Transportation Security Administration's (T.S.A.) rules, the name on the boarding pass must match the passenger's government-issued ID.What happens if you put wrong passport details?
Absolutely no need to cancel. You can either change the passport details within the reservation or at check in. Many people change their passports between booking and flying (renewal, or lost and have to get a new one).Can I book a flight without my passport number?
