Don’t forget the Esta scheme for US from January
Tom
British Airways (BA) has reminded passengers thinking of flying to the US after the 12th January in 2009 that they will need to comply with the new Esta scheme (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation).
Travellers will have to apply up to 72 hours before they are due to travel and give details such as name, passport data, date of birth and other details. They can do this online or via the travel agent.
Once approved, the Esta approval lasts for two years, during which time they can go to the US as often as they like.
Further Points:Jim Forster, British Airways’ government and industry affairs manager, said: ‘The US is our biggest overseas market and we have been working hard to advise our visa waiver customers that they must apply to the Department of Homeland Security well in advance of travel. We will be sending reminder messages to customers who have given us their email details to invite them to apply for Esta.’
