Hi all
Re Potential impact of a new passport number on an international ticket
My current passport expires in September 2015. It has insufficient validity for my China trip commencing 7 July 2015. China visas require 6 months validity from proposed date of entry into China.
I have applied for a new passport, which will take another 2 weeks at least. The new one will have a different number from the current one.
I am looking to book a well-priced one-way fare back to Australia. In order to book and pay for this fare, I need to quote my passport number. I doubt the special fare will still be available in 2 weeks.
If I quote my current passport number when booking this fare, will I later run into trouble at Bangkok airport when I front up at check-in with a new passport that has a different number from the one used to book the flight?
Clearly, I could also take my current passport with me as evidence, but I am unsure if that will be sufficient.
I hope I explained the situation adequately.
If anyone has first-hand experience, your advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Bush
