Before you go

ESTA - Electronic System for Travel Authorization

It is mandatory for anyone travelling to or transferring through the US under the Visa Waiver Program, to obtain approval to travel no later than 72 hours prior to travel by completing an online process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) scheme. The cost of an ESTA is currently approx $14 per person and can be obtained by visiting https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov or the Visit USA Website at www.visitusa.org.uk where further information on the scheme and up to date fee can also be found. Once completed & approved, the ESTA application is valid for two years and allows multiple visits without the need to reapply. Travellers can apply for an ESTA even if they have no firm plans to travel to the US.

Failure to obtain an ESTA could result in the passenger being denied boarding by the airline.

The ESTA is very similar to the automated visa that you purchase to enter Australia and is completely paperless.

Foreign Office Travel Advice

We recommend that you seek advice from the Foreign Office regarding your holiday destination(s) prior to your reservation – this is easily available by telephone, teletext or through the Internet. Your Travel Agent should also be able to assist. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office travel Advice Unit may have issued information about your holiday destination(s). You are advised to check this information on BBC2 Ceefax page 470 onwards or on the Internet under the address: www.fco.gov.uk/travel/countryadvice.asp by telephone on 0845 850 2829 or by email to consular.fco@gtnet.gov.uk Alternatively, you can contact the ABTA Information Department on 0901 2015050 (calls are charged at 50p/minute).

Passport and visas

Know what? If you turn up for your flight with an invalid passport or no visa when you need one, we will be very sympathetic but... YOU CANNOT BOARD THE FLIGHT.

You must have a full and valid passport. Some destinations require you to have 6 months validity on your passport from the return date of travel. You should check with the Embassy for current requirements as these are subject to change.

Visas are required by British citizens for a number of our destinations, and a charge may be applicable – for up-to-date information check with the relevant embassy. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documentation. All other passport holders should check with the relevant embassy or consulate.

UK Passport Information

If you haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 10 weeks before your holiday departure date. The Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and everybody aged 16 or over applying for their first passport will need to have an interview as part of the application process. Please note that this new process will increase the time it takes for your application to be processed. In all cases, the passport office advises you not to book any travel arrangements until you have received your new passport.

For full details of passport requirements for your chosen holiday please contact the British Passport Office on 0870 521 0410 or www.ukpa.gov.uk or the US embassy on 0207 499 9000 or www.usembassy.org.uk.

The name on each person's ticket must match the name as stated in their passport. When making your booking, please ensure the information given to us is correct. Failure to do so may result in significant charges being incurred, as some airlines treat an amendement as a name change and will charge accordingly.

Travelling to the USA

All British passport holders will now only be permitted to enter the States if they hold a machine-readable passport. All passports issued within the UK since November 1991 are machine readable. This is not the case for all UK passports issued overseas, so please contact the British Passport Office if this applies to you or if you are not sure.

Passports issued on or after October 26 2006 must also include an integrated circuit chip capable of storing the biographic information from the data page, a digitised photograph and other biometric information. If your passport was issued on or after this date and does not have this information, you WILL require a visa.

If your passport shows you are a British or Irish citizen you do not usually need a visa* may be entitled to use the Visa Waiver Programme(VWP). From 20 January 2010, it will be mandatory for anyone travelling to or transferring through the US under the VWP, to obtain approval to travel no later than 72 hours prior to travel by completing an online process ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/. Failure to obtain an ESTA could result in the passenger being denied boarding by the airline..

For more information on why you may need a visa, please visit our Passport and Visa FAQ's.

If your passport shows you are a British Subject, you will need a Visa. This particularly applies if you are Irish but have a British Subject passport. In both these cases, you must check with the US Embassy or nearest consulate. All other passport holders in doubt should check with a US Embassy or consulate.

*Under certain circumstances (eg. if you have a criminal record) you may require a visa and you could be refused entry into the USA.

To qualify for the US Visa Waiver programme you must NOT:

• Be suffering from any communicable disease, physical or mental disorder or be a drug abuser or addict.
• Have been arrested or convicted for any offence or crime. This includes spent convictions or an arrest not resulting in a conviction.
• Have ever been involved in espionage or sabotage, terrorist activities, genocide or been involved in anyway with Nazi Germany or its allies between 1933 and 1945.
• Seeking work in the US, have been excluded or deported from the US, been previously removed from the US or attempted to procure a visa or entry into the US by fraud or misrepresentation.
• Been detained, retained or withheld custody of a child from a US citizen granted custody of the child.
• Been denied a US Visa or entry into the US or had a US visa cancelled.
• Have asserted immunity from prosecution.

Kids

All children, including newborn babies, must now have their own individual passport.

Please Note: Some destinations require a letter of authority if children are not accompanied by both legal guardians. Please check with us for further information if this applies to you.

Advance Passenger Information

Virgin Atlantic, like other airlines, is obliged to transmit Advance Passenger Information (API) about passengers prior to the departure of flights to the United States.

Specifically, there is a requirement for all passengers to provide their country of residence and (for non-US residents) details of their full address (street name and number, city, zip code and state) for the first night's accommodation in the US. Passengers travelling to the US continue to require a machine-readable passport or valid visa.

If you have booked accommodation with us as part of your holiday booking, then you do not need to contact Virgin Atlantic in advance of your flight, as we will provide them with this information. However if you have booked a flydrive holiday without accommodation or have booked your accommodation independently, then you will need to provide Virgin Atlantic with this information yourself at check in.

Please note this information is for Virgin Atlantic flights only, if you are travelling with any other airline you may be asked to provide your accommodation details upon arrival at check-in. This information will be shown on your hotel accommodation voucher which you will receive with your tickets, so please ensure you have this handy when checking in for your flight.

We would ask that all passengers continue to provide their valid travel documents and details of their full US destination address for US Immigration. There is no requirement for passengers to arrive at the airport any earlier than usual.

Further Information

If you would like more information on API you can visit our FAQ section

You can also find out more about API through the US Customs and Border Protection website by going to www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/home.xml

Virgin Atlantic New Checked-In Baggage Allowance

We have now changed our check-in baggage policy to a 'Piece System' across the entire network for all tickets booked from 25 November 2009. The changes have been made to allow us to simplify our policy and lower our charges for passengers wishing to take additional bags.

If you wish to check in extra bags outside of your free allowance, you will need to pay an additional extra baggage fee.

If an Upper Class passenger wishes to go over this allowance, the standard extra baggage charges will apply with a weight limit of 23 kilos then per bag.
If the weight of the extra bag goes over this then the excess weight charges will apply at the airport.

Exceptions

Any Economy class Passengers travelling from India to the USA (and vice-versa) with Virgin Atlantic for their entire journey, which involves a connecting flight via London Heathrow, will be entitled to an additional bag up to 23kg .

Gold card holders - one additional bag at 23 kilos, irrespective of the cabin flown.

Sporting allowance - 1 additional bag up to 23 kilos, irrespective of the cabin flown. Please check Virgin Atlantic Sporting Equipment allowance for details.

Extra Baggage Charges

In addition to your free allowance, you can now pay to check in up to 10 extra bags per person, weighing up to a maximum of 23kg each.

Extra baggage can be purchased online and at the airport. Currently, extra baggage can be purchased when you check in online, at a lower charge than purchasing at the airport.

Please note:

Bag dimensions

A standard size bag must not exceed 90cm x 75cm x 43cm (35.5ins x 29.5ins x 16ins), including the handle, pockets and wheels.

When dimensions exceed those of the permitted free allowance, but are less than 190 x 75 x 65cm (75 x 29.5 x 25.5in), a fee will apply. This fee is only payable at the airport.

Baggage pieces larger than 190 x 75 x 65cm, (75 x 29.5 x 25.5in), will not be accepted as checked in baggage, but as freight or cargo only.
