Do I need to print Estas?

[parkgirl]

Tui at Bristol asked to see ours. It was the first year I had printed them, so wasn’t an issue.

Nope. Everything is on my phone in PDF form, backed up onto iCloud in my files folder so it can be accessed on my iPad if required as well. This is the whole point of having apps etc isn’t it? Lots of stuff in Apple Wallet too. So much easier.

I do this too since upgrading my phone but previously my phone would no doubt have died at the wrong moment!

I never used to but one time flew into New York and the ESTA computer system was down. My friend had printed hers and got straight through customs. I was taken away (whilst a panicked friend looked on!) with no explanation and seated in what I can only describe as a mini court room whilst they did some sort of manual checks. Delayed me by about 20 mins so no big deal. But I do print out now just in case of this happening again! Given how security minded the US is, not sure how they'd feel about verifying an ESTA on your phone in such circumstances

I print everything out. If my phone died on me I wouldn't have access to it all.

Amazing isn't it how paper sometimes works well even though us old dinosaurs seem to be patronised all the time by others who share a different view but are unable to communicate it without being offensive

I well remember the arrival of the ‘paperless office’ during my Police career.
It did not work, never will work and we still had endless duplication of effort as well as exactly the same amount of paper in hard copy files (x 5 in the case of an overnight and remand).
Technology can be an aid and no more than that. I will meantime stick with my A5.. just in case.

I may have already said, to the point of boredom , that I'm 76 and have embraced technology as much as I can where I have to or where it helps with everyday life but not to the complete exclusion of alternatives.

I'm even on record here last November when I said that I found doing Verifly easy on only the second day that BA used it.

In my world there's room for both to sit alongside each other and neither should be dismissed just because it's not what you do.

What is the point of doing Verifly if as they did with us only ask for your passport when you check in without having done it ?

I had copies of vaccination record and attestation but they didn't (despite being offered) want to see them.

I assume that's a rhetorical question?

Obviously I have no idea but I'm guessing that the US Department of Homeland Security won't be best pleased to hear that the UK flag carrying airline wasn't fulfilling it's legal obligations by not checking that passengers were complying with the CDC requirements.

Assuming you travelled BA of course.
