Delta used to have an awesome frontend for Timatic (the system that all of the airlines use for determining their own liability in visa requirement issues) that I used exclusively. Sadly, it seems they've removed it from their new site.

I was able to find a similar offering[1] for free on Gulf Air's site, though.

A nice frontend to Timatic would be awesome, but I suspect that the licensing is too pricey...

Hypothetically, I wonder if there would be legal issues with running a bot to scrape data from Gulf Air's page. They don't seem to have a ToS which prohibits it, as far as I can tell; and I would expect the data itself to be non-copyrightable.

Ouch the fees for Timatic are steep indeed.

0 – 500 transactions: Included in Fixed Fee - EUR 499/yr

501 – 100,000 transactions: EUR (€) 0.1299 per transaction

100,001 – 600,000 transactions: EUR (€) 0.1166 per transaction

600,001 – 1,100,000 transactions: EUR (€) 0.1033 per transaction

1,100,001 – 1,600,000 transactions: EUR (€) 0.0888 per transaction

1,600,001 – 2,100,000 transactions: EUR (€) 0.0816 per transaction

2,100,001 onwards: EUR (€) 0.0743 per transaction

I haven't looked closely at it, but if Timatic are held liable for the accuracy and ultimately responsible (assuming litigation), it might be justified.
