Is the term Basic Travel Allowance(BTA) a real stipulation for flying?


Travel Info
I have been talking to a girl from the UK. She said she wants to visit me here in the US be has to have $900 for a BTA. Is this a real term in the travel industry?

Travel Tips
Tommy, I'm sorry but I have bad news.

There is almost no way she "needs" to have $900 for a BTA. In fact, there is at least some chance that it is all a scam. The Internet opens the opportunity for people to run scams in total safety because of the anonymity of it. For more information, go to http://www.internet-love-scams.org/forum...

I suggest that you have her send you a photocopy of her plane ticket "so you can be sure there is no mistake in your coming to meet the plane" and tell her you will have $900 (or equivalent proof) in your pocket when you pick her up - just in case the passport control officer requires it. I advise you NOT TO SEND MONEY to the UK. You may never see it or her.

Best wishes.
