Frequently Asked Questions

How do I provide my API details?

For TUI flights, visit our secure API website and enter your details. You’ll need to log in using your First Choice booking reference number, the surname of the lead passenger – AKA the Top Dog – and your departure date, this can all be found on your booking confirmation or invoice.

If online check-in’s open for your TUI flight, you can enter your API information when you check-in.

Just so you know – If you’ve chosen Select Your Seat, Seats with Extra Space, Seats with Extra Legroom or Premium seats, online check-in opens 14 days before your outward flight.  If not, you can check-in online from 7 days before.

Alternatively, pop in to one of our travel shops along with your booking reference and all the passports of your party. 

For flights with one of our chartered airlines*, you can enter your details the same way that you would with a TUI flight.

If you’re flying with another airline not listed above, you’ll need to go directly to that airline’s website to enter your API details. Use your booking reference for that airline, rather than your TUI booking reference, and you’ll be able to log in.

If you’re not sure who you’re flying with, take a look at ‘Which airline am I flying with?’

*Our chartered airlines are Air Europa, Albastar, ASL Airlines France, ASL Airlines Ireland, Evelop Airlines, Germania, Norwegian, Travel Service, TUI operated by Norwegian, and Volotea.
