Thorne Travel and Glen Travel, both in Scotland, have each had clients have their Estas revoked shortly before they were due to travel. Thorne has issued a warning to clients, and urged other agencies to be vigilant and strengthen their checks following a succession of pre-departure incidents.
"We’re seeing a rise in cases where previously approved Estas are being revoked without notice," said Thorne Travel in a recent warning to clients travelling to the US. "Some travellers have been denied boarding, and airlines report this is happening daily. No reason is given."
