i can believe that BA would require details to access bookings, however I would not agree that border crossings will almost certainly need this.

In the last 2 years, I have been to Auckland, Sydmey, Kuala Lumpur (2 times), Doha, Colombo, Paris, Singapore, London ( 3 times ), Geneva, Cairo and Muscat with my foster son - only once ( at LGW on arrival ) did anyone question about him at all - this is despite different surnames and different nationality passports
