Orlando, USA
So much to do
There’s so much to do in and around Orlando that two weeks often isn’t enough to squeeze it all in. Millions come here every year, not only for nearby Disney World and Universal Studios (not to mention the Space Coast just an hour away) but town-sized shopping malls, global cuisine and clear, sunny skies.

Visa:
British citizens can normally enter the US for business, pleasure or transit using the US Government’s Visa Waiver Program. A range of very specific conditions apply to this programme, and you can find out more here http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/niv/vwp.html
If you intend to travel to the US using the Visa Waiver Program you’ll need to get an electronic travel authorisation before you go.
Duty free shopping:
As the USA is outside of Europe, you can benefit from duty free prices on certain items purchased when travelling to Orlando through our terminals. More information.
