UK citizen travelling to the US for 1st time
It's my understanding that I don't need to apply for a visa or anything before I go as I am going for a short holiday, is this correct?
I also intend to fly to Canada and back while I am over there, will there be any issues with re-entering the US so soon? I am slightly concerned as my flight back to the UK departs 3 hours after the Canada flight arrives so I can't afford to be held up by customs for too long.
Thanks

These are valid for two years, so there should be no problem with Canada.. Three hours is indeed rather tight, even though Canada's nto far away.

in theory, three hours is plenty, though I don't know whether they'd keep you in a transit lounge or whether you'd have to go out through customs and immigration, pick up your baggage, then go back through and check in all over again. It might depend on whether it was all one booking on one airline.
But if they're two separate bookings, and the earlier flight was delayed, and you had to formally enter the USA and leave again, you might be rushed. You could check with the airline(s) or your travel agent what current practice is.
