One need not subscribe to EF in order to obtain travel document requirements. There are a number of carriers which provide direct IATA TIMATIC access without charge. I happen to find the UA portal the most customer friendly.

This is what the check-in agent will see in front of her and it is what she is trained to rely on. It is generally a poor idea to rely on print outs of other documents as staff are trained to rely on the database and not anything handed to them. Same goes for calling ahead. Phone agents are poor at this and prone to misinformation.
