What as a English man should I look out for on a trip to the USA.

The border

Also be prepared have your photograph taken and to be ‘ten printed’. Which means fingerprints for all 10 digits will be taken. Usually right 4 fingers in one time then the thumb then repeated for the other hand.

You must have documentation showing your onward travel from the USA. Strongly recommend printing this out rather than relying on your phone. Wifi is usually crap at customs if it’s available at all.

Make sure you have an ESTA (or a full visa) sorted out before travel or you will not be able to board the plane.

One other tip. Get an e-sim from someone like Nomad or Airalo. Then you can use that for data. Getting a sim in America never seems to be as simple as it should be.

Oh man, I forgot the ESTA. A travel plan for your travel plan for your travel plan.

We'll have the ETIAS to do soon as well. Won't be long before the dude at the border in Gibraltar will be like "¿que tal bruv, where's Travelling With Authority Treaty form?".

Oh well. We did it to ourselves 🙁

edit: forgot to say, thanks for the addition.

Definitely worth calling your mobile provider beforehand - I think I had an add-on where I could pay £2 per day and use my contract allowance as usual. It worked nicely.
