I... Can't Check In?

Short version, I've managed to check in. All is good.

Long version, I tried to check in, computer said no. Well, computer said "You do not have a US ETSA" I had a look to find out what one of those is (it stands for 'Electronic System for Travel Authorisation') apparently they can take up to 72 hours to process, so I was quite close to shitting myself. Seeing as my flight is in less than 24 hours, I didn't have 72 hours to wait for an ETSA! I filled it out anyway and luckily it was approved right away! Phew. I went back to Virgin Atlantic check in, did it all again and it accepted me!

So, woo!! I'm going to America tomorrow! My flight is delayed by an hour (now leaves at 15:05, not 14:15 like I thought) but it still lands in Boston at 17:35EST (which will be 10:35pm UK time!)

My seat is right at the back of the plane, left hand side, by a window! It's also a single seat so I have no-one sitting next to me and no-one behind! What an awesome place to sit!
