The BA Help Information doesn't list India as one of the countries that require API, so is this new? Has anyone else been asked for API before flying to India? I've not been asked for this information before!
I know that my trips to India on carriers besides BA in May did not involve my information being sent as an APIS-type feed to the Indian government.

However, there was talk of this from June 30th onwards: http://www.livemint.com/2008/06/1200...India.html?d=1 .
