Just need confirmation that we can have the annual leave (although the availability for both of us looks good)

Also, does anyone know if ESTA's are being approved at the moment? Ours expire on the 5/1/21.

Yes estas are being approved, I did ours this week and they were approved in a couple of hours.

Dozens of Dibbers have reported successful renewal of ESTAs since POTUS closed the borders - including us in May. You can renew it now if you like rather than wait until your existing ones expire.

I would suggest that you don't do API until nearer the time though. Some opinions and evidence that doing API can be considered an "attempt" to fly and may result in ESTA being cancelled.

Go for it! I have just booked a holiday package with flight and car for April 2021. Paid £150 deposit which can be changed to another date if needed!

I am confident the US will be open by Jan 2021.

Annual leave approved, ESTA's pending authorisation

[welshmum]

As soon as I typed that, I had an email to say status had changed, all approved

Some good lufthansa flights out now for August

We got our insurance with Trailfinders and we're happy with the level of cover they offer plus deposit only for US holiday. It was £280 annual for us, a bit more than we usually pay but worth it I think.

Great to hear i'm not the only person. We have booked for Christmas because as you said its not really a risk money wise. The way i look at it we are always going to go so its just 350 towards when ever that will be.

Hope it all works out for you and i think you are far from crazy. In fact hope it all works out for everybody who has taken a punt.
