72 hour check before you fly

I wasn't sure what title to use but wondered if anyone has done this before they flew to america as it says on the tickets you must call 72 hours before you fly to see if you can still travel, but i thought the esta covered all this and it doesn't say where your meant to call if you do have to call., (its like it used to be when you just got your tickets, got to the airport and checked in and than fill the green form on the plane).

That's to do with the airline, nothing to do with ESTA or the US. I know from years back airlines always used to ask you to phone and confirm that you were still intending to board the flight (helps them adjust their overbooking numbers ). I have made countless international flights and never phoned to confirm. I have always presented my ticket and never been denied on the basis that I had not made a phone call.
