Having just gone to update APIS information on a flight to the US in July, it appears you can now add your KTN on that screen to your booking.

Sorry if this has already been pointed out, however following this thread I don't think it has...

Looks like the KTN option popped up overnight: it wasn't there yesterday mid-afternoon.

For my BA flight booked through AA, I had completed the APIS information already but when I viewed that information this morning the KTN field was not only present but already filled in. It must have either been passed over by AA or BA is able to retrieve it based on my passport number.

Well spotted, though I can't get to my core API record on BA.com at the moment ("Sorry....." yadayada) to see if there is a permanent field for it within BAEC.

I have the same problem and it has been like that for a while now, thought it may be related to adding the required KTN field and maybe they broke something while doing that.

I was able to access my details on BA.com and there is no KTN field in the APIS data as of this morning.

I also had issues with accessing my bookings through the website. Just found out that if I enter 'manage my booking' (of a US booking) through the app and then click on add/edit API it takes you to details about your passport and there is a field for KTN. Managed to add and save there.

I also cannot access my personal information but I added it to the API for my next trip, selected add it to my personal information, and it was filled in on a subsequent trip as well.

Can't view my personal information - as above, 'Sorry....' and it redirects me back to the BA home page.

As for the APIS data for upcoming TATL flights (checked 5 out of 8 of them) - just shows all the fields as blank with no KTN field. This is a recurring problem that although MMB says it has all the information, none of my API actually appears on the bookings (!). Check-in takes a wee bit longer as a consequence... .

From the BA website when you click on "More about TSA Precheck."

We’re unable to save the number to your ba.com account at this time so you will need to add your number for each flight.

The KTE number shows up right next to the Redress one in the API section for a booking a just made this morning but not for any of my older ones. Looks like they're still in the process of rolling it out.

Confirmed. KTN can now be entered. This booking was made six months ago so applicable to old bookings as well.

Just did it too for a booking made 6months ago when I go to MMB APIS view/change it you can then add a KTN before redress number.

TSA Pre✓ with British Airways

To use TSA Precheck with British Airways:
  • Add your trusted traveller programme number to your Advance Passenger Information at least three days before your flight is due to depart the US.
  • Print your own boarding pass or collect it at the airport. (Please note that mobile boarding passes are not currently TSA PreCheck enabled).
The TSA screens each flight so this does not guarantee you access to the Precheck lane. Your authorisation, if granted, will be shown on your boarding pass. We’re unable to save the number to your ba.com account at this time so you will need to add your number for each flight.About TSA Pre✓

TSA Pre✓, or TSA Precheck, enables travellers to go through a faster, simpler security screening at US airports where there’s no need to take off shoes, belts or jackets or remove liquids and laptops from bags. To be eligible, you must have registered for one of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trusted traveller programmes (TSA✓, Global Entry, NEXUS and SENTRI)

This appeared when I enter my KTN.
