API is Advance Passenger Information. It's basically your passport details. A lot of airlines want this info upfront and before you try and check in at the airport.
On your Opodo booking, is there an option to add API? Perhaps in the 'manage my booking' section if not on your confirmation email? If you can't see it (Nowhere to be seen on Expedia), I'd send them an email enquiring about it and they should be able to advise. 24 hours later and I'm sorted with Expedia.
I don't think it happens often, but I guess in theory UIA could deny boarding if you haven't given your API details.
See you on that flight!

Probs worth slinging them an email about API this weekend to avoid a potential problem at Gatwick. Also got the email from City regarding ticket collection, 15 minute walk from Hotel Ukraine to the Radisson; there better be a boozer or 2 en route :)

Yep agreed. Can't understand why there isn't an option to do it ourselves, like with almost every other travel site. Meh I have nothing, people can scam away :)
