The main airlines that fly from the UK to Orlando are: British
Airways All offer good value flights, but it pays to try to purchase the flights during a sale period (for example the January sales) Alamo
- www.alamo.com You can purchase a number of really good guide books from the UK to help you plan your holiday in Florida, and this is well worth doing if it is your first visit. Also, when you arrive, look out for and pick up the numerous free guides and listings that have all the latest news on the attractions and maps of the area. Many of these have money off coupons for restaurants, shops, golf green fees etc. and can prove very useful. Visa Waiver / Electronic System for Travel Authorization: There is currently a Visa Waiver in place for UK citizens traveling in and out of the USA on holiday. This means that, providing your passport is a recent passport and has an electronic tag on it, you will not be required to complete the temporary holiday visa form. However, International travelers who are seeking to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program are now subject to enhanced security requirements. All eligible travelers who wish to travel under the Visa Waiver Program must apply online for authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS] and the U.S. Customs and Boarder Control [CBP]). All passengers traveling under the Visa Waiver Program are required to have an approved travel authorization prior to traveling to the United States by air or sea. Even non-ticketed infants are required to have an approved travel authorization, if they do not have a visa for travel to the United States. An application may be submitted by a third party on behalf of a Visa Waiver Program traveler. Applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel to the United States. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that travel authorization applications be submitted at least 72 hours prior to travel. Unless revoked, travel authorizations are valid for two years from the date of authorization, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you do have to complete the temporary holiday visa form, it is common practice for the airline to provide you with one and allow you to complete it on your flight across to America. The standard currency in America is the US Dollar. It is obviously recommended that you carry travellers' cheques for your own personal safety, and US Dollar Travellers Cheques can actually be used in transactions as cash at the majority of the most popular tourist attractions (e.g. Disney World, Universal etc.), restaurants, hotels and shops. It is recommended that you arrive in the US with about $100 in cash, including one dollar bills for tipping and taxis. Although you can purchase park tickets whilst you are in Orlando, it is advised that you purchase your tickets before you travel to avoid disappointment. You can go direct to the attraction/park operators or via a third party (some websites are listed below). It can pay to shop around, but please be confident with the company you are purchasing from: Kissimmee
Guest Services Please note that Orlando Villa Rental is in no way responsible for the content on these external websites and suggest that you use suitable caution when purchasing park/attraction tickets As
in the UK, tipping is a common and expected practice. Suggested
tips are 10-20% of the bill for meals in restaurants and the same
to taxi drivers. U.S. women's clothing and shoe size converter: Clothing and shoe size conversions are not an exact science. It’s best to try on clothes and shoes to be sure they fit properly. Here are some approximate size conversions: Women’s Clothing:
