IMPORTANT!! 1. Make sure you have a US passport with at least 6 months validity 2. You do not need to apply for a visa. As a US passport holder, you are automatically given a 6 month tourist visa when you land in the UK - so hang around if you fancy! 3. The UK is 6 hours ahead of Central Time and 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time. When you leave, you usually arrive in the UK the following morning so make sure you plan it right. If you leave on the 28th, you'll arrive the morning of the 29th etc.. 4. You can book flights 11 months in advance. The sooner you book, the better the deal, as they get closer to the travel dates they tend to go up, at least thats what we've experienced! 5. HIGHLY recommend you get travel insurance. This usually covers medical expenses, lost luggage and trip cancellations, though make sure you read whats included. Obviously we are hoping that covid doesn't affect NYE 2021 but in case it does, we want to make sure you all get refunded on your travel expenses.
