It is my understanding that flying overseas is, more often than not, a desire and not a requirement.
We are not asked to stay away from flying vs told that there are requirements to re-enter The U.S., the drama comes into play when We believe that We should not be stopped from doing what We want to do when We want to do it. How odd???
If one were to believe it is too much drama, then we need to re-consider traveling abroad until such time policy makers determine things can be loosened up. Solved or not???
In health and bon voyage
