I haven't been overseas in years… gotta organise passport soon… do I need to enter my passport number when booking any flight? What is the best website to adjust the length of a stopover (as part of an existing fare) - I don't think it's a 'multitrip' as per Skyscanner etc?
Best Way to Book Multi-Stop Flight?

Yes, I do mean a long transit between legs. I tried it on Skyscanner and couldn't get a price anywhere near the $205 from Perth to Ho Chi Minh, so I'm guessing you can't just change the length of stopover and keep the same fare.
All booking sites for os travel will want your passport number and expiry.
I believe when I booked my European flights I only entered the passport number a few weeks after I booked the flights. But I believe you need to do it before check-in.
You can't adjust the length of a stopover without rebooking your flights, do that on the website that you originally booked the flight with.
Gotta love OB - the first three answers are all different:
- no
- yes
- only before check-in
Which one is it?
That must be why people come here instead of the retailer, insurer, airline, government department, etc. that's actually relevant to their issue … at least they know someone will tell them what they want to hear.
I think it depends on the airline and/or booking website
I booked multi stop flights 2 months ago and for me the answer is your passport number is only needed before check-in.
I see. Well that 'holidays'(?) website that had the cheap Vietnam flights a few days ago made it compulsory to enter passport number to book. Seems a bit dodgy…
I think that was just a search website & the flights were with scoot.
Of course Scoot might be one of the airlines that requires passport numbers.
No you don't need to input your passport number when booking flights and multitrip is the same as stopover, unless you mean a long transit in between legs?
