used wrong passport no in API on Easyjet - problem at boarding?
I entered in API details for a flight next week (LGW-AMS) but realised after checking in that that passport is actually at an embassy waiting for a visa.

Will I have any problems at the gate with presenting a different passport? [Both are valid so no problem with the actual API bit, just a potential problem with a zealous agent on the ground).

There is a note on easyjet.com talking about changing API information online, but I think this is disabled after checkin...

Can't you get the airline to uncheck you in? Airlines routinely have a procedure for unchecking in a passenger.

Unless your booking is flagged by or on behalf of UK authorities and your other passport is valid for travel without a visa to AMS, there should be no problem flashing a different passport as ID to the airline.

Hello,

I had a similar problem a few weeks back with Easyjet. I called the call center, and could change the API information without problem (or charge) in a few moments!

Safe travels.

Excellent - it was the charge bit that I was worried about! Will do the same.
