Not flying to the US - instead flying to the UK
Why doe Advance Passenger Information under "Manage my bookings" ask me for my address in the US and NEXUS PASS ID?
It's confusing. They should turn it off if you are not flying to the US.
They should also get rid of the green on the website design.

Same reason I see it on the APIS page when flying to Asia.
In theory, the form that would appear for a U.S. destination would not have those fields for other destinations. As for changing the APIS form (design, colors), ya, good luck with that.
(funny thing...don't have this problem with the other airlines I fly, either into the U.S. or elsewhere)

I fly to Asia from YYS which does fly over Alaska and am not asked this at all
Similarly, flights from Toronto to various Caribbean vacation destinations regularly fly over the USA. You certainly don't have to put in a US address for those flights.

I just checked my booking for Barbados out of YYZ. There is no mention of APIS being required. I checked the APIS tab and it says APIS must be filled out only if flying to the US or connecting through the US.

Not sure where other posters are getting this "If you fly over the USA at any point in the flight" you have to fill it in.
