Having said this, the eAPIS program brings with it its own set of unique problems...detailed aircraft inspection prior to departure for a foreign destination, among them.
Have not had these problems with eAPIS, it has worked well for us, and I think only 60 minutes notice needed so change of pax list easy. No inspections either. Last time went from Santa Monica to Mexico, eAPIS would not allow us to nominate SMO as point of departure as it is not a border control airport. Contacting Border control they said no problem just say you are departing LAX but stipulate that you are actually at SMO, worked well. Well I say it worked well no one was arrested!
