Flying to Spain with Easyjet-need to give passport details in advance?

Hi. I'm off to Menorca tomorrow and we have booked through sunmaster. On their website it says you have to fill in a form with your passport details as Easyjet need this in advance and you can't fly without. I've not heard of this before and it wasn't well publicised on the Sunmaster website. I can see no mention of it on the Easyjet site.

I have just filled in the form on the Sunmaster site but am worried the info won't get to Easyjet in time for tomorrow's flight.
Any thoughts or advice?

    Contact Sunmaster to verify that your info has been entered correctly to Easyjet.

    API is pretty common. If you book direct with Monarch, Easyjet or Ryanair they'll ask for the details at the time or asap after booking. Other airlines just take the information at the check in.

    It's not greatly publicised by Sunmaster but there is a clear tab on the front page of the website

    The Easyjet website recommends anyone who booked with a 3rd party agent and not the airline themselves directly conttacts Easyjet directly to add API even if they've given it to the agent

    It applies to all flights to Spain, not just Easyjets

    It's also applying to an increasing number of of non-Spanish destinations. The Easyjet system remembers your passport details once you've used API for one trip and gives you the option of entering it with one click when API is needed again.
