QUESTION: More specifically my previous question was with regards to flying to Ecuador...
Thank you for your prompt reply....

Answer
Hi...

All the information provided is official and came from a International Aviation Transport Association source called Timatic. This reference guide is used by all airlines in the world as a reference.

So it is up to the authorities (and normally the country flag carrier acts as a intermediate) if they change any regulation to provide and update the information currently available.

If you are still around Ecuador, please comment it with the airline manager on your way back.
Lots of customers might be refused for transportation if they do not update the records.

Hope that you can reconsider your rating.

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
