Hi,

You just go on the line using the link above and enter some information as requested.

once you get confirmation from ESTA, you just log onto your flight company website and give some really basic information including the ESTA confirmation code.

It is pretty much straight forward.

If you complete the ESTA form soon [and beat the deadline] there is nothing to pay, and it is valid for 2 years. After that every time you get another ESTA form it will cost $14 per person.
I believe that you still have to complete the green visa waiver forms also.
In addition, you also must provide API at [or preferably before] check in.

I was told that the UK is deemed to be a high risk country as far as the US authorities are concerned due to the amount of Moslems living here, all down to 9/11.
