1965 Posted June 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2022 We recently returned from an Alaskan cruise, flying home to US from Canada. The US required a negative test before we could fly home. Curious if the US will require a test when we fly home from Scotland in Sept. Things can change, of course. But is it currently required? Thanks for any info.

Airlines must confirm the negative test result or documentation of recovery for all passengers before boarding. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JimmyVWine Posted June 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I have found this site to be very useful. It is an interactive system that allows you to input what passport you will be traveling under, what country you are leaving from, and what country you are traveling to, and it will churn out whatever you need to know about testing, quarantining, vaccination requirements, etc. https://apply.joinsherpa.com/map?affiliateId=sherpa&language=en-US 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a recent college graduate who is leaving in a couple of weeks to bounce around Asia for a month. I know she’s spent no time thinking about this, and sent the link on to her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted June 1, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Interesting that CDC rules do not require a test if you recover from Covid. It is well documented that people can be reinfected. Also, the farcical inclusion of Canada, though you can drive across the border with no test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted June 2, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2022 We recently did the May 9th British Isles cruise on the Emerald and YES... it was required. We are the only country left who requires it. Who knows how long it will go on. And I must tell you that it is STRESSFUL! Fortunately, we were negative and could fly home together, unlike many other couples! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the interactive map that I linked and enter the UK as your departure country, and "vaccinated" as your status. You will see that there are 67 countries that still have testing requirements. Some require a negative test pre-departure (Bermuda, Bahamas, Sudan, India, Russia, to name a few) and some require a mandatory negative test upon arrival before you are released into the general population (Algeria, China, Venezuela to name a few.) In all, there are 67 countries where you need to do something other than waltz right in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
