This 72 hour DHS requirement is a requirement on operating airlines, and the DHS requirement on operating airlines just doesn't hit passengers in the way the scaremongers peddle it. US-bound flights booked within 72 hours of flight without passenger passport data simply just doesn't get the passenger booted.
Oh, I do not believe they would ever cancel a ticket
because of late APIS. I'm thinking more of the times when the airline makes a mistake (usually a very expensive one) and starts digging in their CoC for a reason to avoid making it right.
I don't mean to be scaremongering, I only like to lay out the cold facts, because these are the rules of the game we're in.
