This is a new compulsory requirement for UK nationals (and other visa waiver scheme nationals) since your last visit. While this did not greatly speed up immigration in Chicago I would imagine that not doing it could greatly complicate things for you, either at check-in or in the immigration hall. Congratulations - Us 'groundhogbrits' have been married 20 years this year - enjoy the honeymoon.

Cheers,

Yep we're well aware of the ESTA thing, will be doing that sooner rather than later to get it out of the way.

I'll probably ending up printing this thread out as it could well save us quite a bit of time!

Thanks guys.
