Travel Documents
A valid passport is required to travel to foreign
countries for ALL travelers including children. Some countries may even require
a visa. To find out what the entry requirements are, please contact the local
consulate/Embassy of the country you will be travelling to or call Sunwing
Reservations: When children are crossing international borders, whether
travelling alone or accompanied by an adult, each child traveling abroad must
have a valid passport plus supporting documentation: i.e. birth certificate
showing the names of both parents and/or legal documents pertaining to custody.
As well the adults traveling with the minor children are strongly advised to
hold a letter of travel consent signed by the parent(s) or guardian(s) with
legal custody. The letter must include the signor's address and phone details.
It is recommended that this letter be notarized. If a parent/guardian is
divorced or deceased, custody document or death certificate is required.

Flights to the United States
If you are travelling to the United States and hold a Passport from a country other than Canada or the USA, there are important changes to the entry requirements. Advanced authorization to travel to the USA through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is now available to eligible residents of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries. Effective January 12, 2009, authorization through ESTA will be mandatory for all travel by air to the United States for passengers carrying Passports from Visa Waiver Program countries. ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel to the United States, and VWP travelers are encouraged to apply for authorization as soon as they begin to plan a trip to the United States. More information on ESTA, as well as application procedures, may be found on the U.S. Consular Affairs website.

Advanced Passenger Information System (API/APIS)
In an effort to enhance border security, many countries have implemented an Advanced Passenger Information System (API/APIS) to collect passenger data. Under Canadian law, all commercial carriers, including Sunwing Airlines, are required to collect this passenger data during the check-in process and electronically submit this data to the following countries requiring it: Canada, US, Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Barbados.
The following information is collected as part of the APIS process for all flights:
Full name (last name, first name, middle name if applicable)
Date of Birth
Nationality
Country of residence
Travel document information (i.e. Passport)
Gender
In addition to the information above, passengers travelling to the US are required to provide the destination address where they will be staying during their trip. For cruise connections, passengers are required to provide the name of the cruise ship, and point of embarkation in the US.
