New entry procedures for passengers on flights to Spain

From 19 June, all passengers travelling on flights to Spain will be required to provide additional information prior to their flight as the Spanish Government moves to introduce entry procedures, similar to those used in the US.

All passengers will be required to provide their full given names, surnames, nationality, date of birth and travel document number (passport or ID card number) when checking in for their flight. This process will require the check-in agent to swipe the passport through a computer, or to manually enter the data, if the required computer system is not available at the departure airport.

A trial has been successful completed at Manchester Airport plus Scottish Airports and is currently underway at London Gatwick, with all other UK bases starting to collect the data in the coming weeks.

Passengers booked on scheduled flights and wishing to use the online check-in facility or CUSS (Common User Self Service) check-in kiosks at Manchester will be able to provide their data at the ‘fast bag-drop’ desk or at the departure gate.
