How to buy a flight ticket if you don't have your passport handy?

A painful situation: you see a ticket at a great price and are ready to buy, but your passport is at home, in another pair of pants, or in a different bag. What to do? There are two ways: a reliable one and a not-so-reliable one.

Method 1 (not so reliable)

Take a photo of your passport with your phone and store the photo in your gallery or messengers. Many will say this is convenient, and we even agree! But it's all unsafe.

There's a similar option — storing not a photo, but the data itself in notes or chats. Surely, your data is still in some group chat where there are people you once traveled with but no longer communicate with. Also not a great option. If you do send your data to a chat so someone can buy tickets on Kupi.com for everyone at once, then delete your message after the purchase.

Method 2 (reliable)

Use the notebook on the kupi.com or in the app. It's a useful and easy-to-use feature. When purchasing tickets, you enter passenger data, which is then automatically saved in the notebook. This includes last name, first name, date of birth, passport series and number, and passport expiration date. And when purchasing the next flight ticket, the data is automatically filled in — you just need to select whose data to use. That's the whole secret.

You can delete unnecessary data, add required data manually, or by scanning a document. All of this takes less than a minute! You can also scan your bank card.

It's very convenient to add, for example, your whole family and loved ones and not worry when buying tickets that you're missing someone's data.

Is it safe?

Of course! All data is protected by reliable and cryptographically strong encryption, fully compliant with international security standards.

What's the benefit of the notebook

It's like in a juice commercial, when the boy says he can't see the vitamins, and the dad says they're there. The benefit of the notebook isn't immediately obvious, but it definitely exists and affects the speed of purchasing a flight ticket.

You know that flight ticket prices change several times a day, and there are many reasons for this. It's in your best interest to buy a ticket at a price that suits you. After all, there's always a chance that while you're fumbling and manually entering passenger details, someone else will buy the ticket. Therefore, passengers who already have all their data entered into the notebook are always one step ahead!
