MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

Yeah you do need to provide this. If you haven't been asked for it by other airlines, it was either before Spain's new law was introduced, or those airlines weren't doing their job properly.

I am going to Spain with Easyjet and have been asked for the same information.
