Update the airline on the ESTA
I have 14 or so months on this esta before it needs to be done again, the address information won't change I don't think I will get the same hotel. I travel with American but it is too expensive this time they want nearly £650. This trip I will be booking with AIR FRANCE through the AIR FRANCE website. AIR FRANCE will be on the ticket I presume but and I will check in at their Desk at Heathrow T4 the flight is operated by DELTA I think it's code share arrangement or something so what goes on the ESTA when it says name of airline AIR FRANCE or DELTA I am sorry if this is stupid question I did a search through the threads but I couldn't really find an answer

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
I am looking at the esta site now I can upate several fields without needing to pay for a new ESTA This what is says
What information can I update?
Prior to submitting an electronic travel authorization application with the required payment information, you can update all application data fields except the passport number and passport issuing country. Once an application is complete and submitted with all the required payment information, you can still update any one of the following fields:
* E-mail address
* Telephone number
* Carrier Information
* City where you are boarding
* Address while in the United States
So my flight information would need to be changed my Carrier name and Flight Number since I am not flying American Airlines 105 it will be Air France Delta flight number I think it is kl2619 or something

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
I see what you mean it says on the visit us org site that you don't have to update the carrier and hotel information but that might result in more questions and maybe a visit to the secondary checkpoints. Would Air France allow me check in with my esta stating American Airlines 105 flight as the carrier?

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
I am not quite sure what to put down as I said in the first posting. I will be buying tickets through Air France on their website and checking in with them and them send ahead all the information return flight details and what have you. But it's a delta plane so I put down Delta for the carrier and not air france yes? They won't want Air France on the ESTA seeing as how I am ticketed with them and the return flight information and address and the 20 odd pieces of information the airline transmits will come from Air France?

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
ive travelled a couple of times to dulles an never put airline or where im staying as this isnt needed.
when i arrive the border control just ask where im staying and i tell them
also its on your landing card that you fill out prior to arival on the plane
dont worry about it and have a good time

Delta it is then. Just talked to a travel agent actually who said the same thing put down the airline you fly with not the people you book through. They travel agent didn't know if I would allowed to be checked in with the ESTA saying American Airlines when your checking in with france/delta

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
I always update my ESTA with flight details and where I'm staying. On the one occasion I didn't I got questioned by the immigration officer. He asked me for copies of airline tickets etc. I'd forgotten to print my itinerary. Was then asked how I could prove what my travel plans were. I explained that they would all be on-line with American Airways or our travel company. He told me the AA website was down. He then asked me a few questions, gave me a slip to say I was in non-compliance stamped my passport and let me in. I've been back to the US since then without problems.
Lesson learned - I never forget to update my ESTA or take a printed copy of my itinerary. Updating the ESTA only takes a few minutes and costs nothing.

Re: Update the airline on the ESTA
Somehow I smell spam as you seem to have ignored everybody here.
You need a new travel agent.
