Passport renewal: which number to use for airlines?

Hi there🙂, I’ve applied to renew my Austrian passport but I have to wait 3 weeks. I found some really interesting flights to Fès, but unfortunately I don’t have a passport number because I assume the old one isn’t valid anymore?

Is it possible to book with the old number and provide the new one later? Or any other solution? The airlines are Air Arabia Maroc and Ryanair. Thanks for your help!

Personally, I’d wait for the new passport.

Thanks so much! 😊

Hi there,

In a similar situation, I bought my ticket using the passport number from the one being renewed. Then, once I had my new passport, I called the airline to update the information. Obviously, there wasn’t any issue since it was the same person. Only buy your flight tickets DIRECTLY from the airline.

Best regards

Thanks so much for your reply! 😊

Here’s at least one clear answer! My bad... 😉
