Ordinary Traveller: How to use Timatic?
I have read that Timatic is widely used by many Airlines to check what document requirements passengers have to fulfil to board international flights.
The Demo link on Timatic web is broken but I remember having seen it working before but I was not able to understand any of the information it provided.
Can a passenger him/herself go through a Timatic request somewhere on web (for free) to see those requirements beforehand?

Timatic is a paid service that airlines use. They offer a free trial, however the service is mostly meant for airlines and similar companies.
Timatic search for Surinam Airlines: http://www.flyslm.com/en/do-i-need-a-visa/ is a good search. It redirects you to the Timaticweb site, where you can see the information. It also gives you the url structure that Timatic uses, which enables you to make requests on your own.

@HankyPanky: The URL there uses KLM's account, and I believe it was directly accessible through a form on KLM's website as recently as 3 months ago. However, the KLM website seems to have switched to a new non-Timatic interface for travel documents now. That's why I referred to the Wikipedia template as it's the only way to get to Timatic now that I know of.
