The TFL website recommended purchasing in advance to avoid waiting in
long queues.
This is a standard ticket that can be bought from the machines.
Er, yes, which can have long queues at them.
not that long, a few minutes perhaps.

I don't think I'd like to be hanging around a ticket machine if I had
loads of luggage. The machines can seem quite bewidering to me, and I'm
fairly familiar with them! If I were planning a trip in advance, I'd try
to get a PrePay Oyster and pass it on to friends, when they visit
London. I don't know whether you can get Oyster cards sent to the USA
(though I see no reason why this should not be possible)

Edgware.
I may look into an Oyster card.
It is very annoying that the travel card is good for only one specific day.
It is not as if it is reserving a seat.
The clock for expiration should not start until it is first used.
I may mail them back to the UK for refund.
