Hey, seasoned international travelers, have a moment to give advice? I’m wondering whether this “provide all your passport details” web form from KLM is worth filling out.

It promises to “speed up the check-in process at the airport.” As a software person, the offer I hear is “make your sensitive data pass through even •more• systems with heaven knows what security characteristics.”

If doing it at the airport is +5 min, I’d prefer that. If that’s asking for a headache, then OK, fine, online.

Passport details form asking for name, DOB, nationality, passport number, etc.
