Practical Information

Try to arrive at Heathrow at least two hours before your flight to Denver is due to depart. You will need a valid passport to fly on this route. The USA has a Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) which means the majority of Brits won't need a visa if they're visiting the states for 90 days or less. If you're planning to work in America, have ever been arrested, or have dual nationality with Iran, Iraq, Syria or Sudan (or have visited these countries since 2011) you won't be eligible for the VWP. Contact the US Embassy. Even if you are eligible for the VWP you will need to fill in an online Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) form 72 hours before you travel.
