Slightly off topic, but I had to show a copy of my ESTA to Immigration officals in New York on arrival from a transatlantic cruise from Southampton.

This happened to us in October this year flying out of Aberdeen. The system said we had no ESTA’s... oh yes we do I say and get out my document wallet to show her the printed Paperwork... they weren’t there... to say I felt sick is an understatement! 🤮🤮
We know we printed them... we had every other piece if paper that we might ever need... but no ESTA. My husband fortunately found our confirmation email on his phone and they were happy to accept the information on there... such a stressful start to the holiday

We had something similar. Had been in Florida for a month and was about to board a cruise from Miami. We were asked for our esta copies while checking in and didn't have a paper copy.
I pointed that we had already been admitted to the US 4weeks before but he wasn't for budging. No esta, no boarding! There were a few worrying minutes with a jobsworthy at check in before I asked for a manager to attend. He went off with our passports and came back saying all was well and enjoy the cruise. Will always take a print out with me from now on 😎

We flew hand luggage last year and did online check in. We had boarding passes but our ESTAs were checked at the gate as we boarded. We saw no one official until 5 minutes before we were sat on the plane.

I agree but the airline have to do their check which they did as we boarded. Something flashed on the screen and they asked us for our passports which most other passengers were not asked for.

Correct link. Don’t use others unless you want to pay for their services. Edited at 09:04 PM. |

Not always... if someone has checked in online they could still have a boarding pass and then get selected for secondary screening afterwards, they then get a long beep at the gate scanner and get checked then. Secondary screening always happens at the gate, not check in.
