Booking flights to NYC - passport query

[DJP]

My brother-in-law has just announced he's getting married in New York next year (as I did) and invited my wife and I to the wedding. He's looking to book the flights next month but my passport runs out in December. I need my passport for a trip to Italy in a few weeks so I'm not in a position to renew it now. Do you need to input your passport details at the time of booking flights to New York these days or will I just need my (new) passport number when I check in online next year and also when I submit my ESTA application?

I was in NYC about 18 months ago but I'm damned if I can remember if I had to input my passort number when I booked those flights.

[DJP]

End of thread. Cheers

NO.. only when applyingfor Esta which you can hold off on until you get your new passport

You don't need your passport number when booking so you'll be ok.

Got married in New York that is. Shocking grammar on my part - as usual.

If it was 18 months ago, you might need to check if your ESTA is still in date too

That would be a bonus. Does the ESTA milarky last three years or summat?

Two years from the approval date.

You'd have to re-apply anyway for a new passport number.

Ah, of course. Good shout. Cheers.

Sometimes your airline wants passport details but only before you fly
