    I'm really worried..... there will be at least 10 of us flying in April....but I just do not understand ANY of the Visa or ESTA stuff?!?! I'm so scared that someone will be turned away after having spent so much money or something!!
    Is there someone who can actually talk you through this if you cannot understand?
    If so who - I don't think Travel Agents would as we booked online....

    Safe flight and good luck - can't wait to hear about your trip!
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Maybe have a look here:

    http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/niv/esta.html

    And call the embassy if you have questions. It seems pretty straight forward - you go to the government's website and submit your application (for free) and get a response quite quickly in most cases...you don't need a visa...there's a visa waiver programme in place and ESTA builds on that.

    If it's like the ETA for Australia, the airline will have a record that you've applied and been approved...it's really simple.

    We just did our ESTA's today. We were approved in seconds of hitting the submit button. It says that you don't need to have a copy at the airport. I assume that's because they transfer the info to your flight provider. We took copies anyway just in case. This system is new, so we can all expect a few wrinkles. Luckily, we aren't due to go until 4th May, so a lot will be sorted by then.
