Some countries require PCR negative test to enter. Does US require PCR to enter or antigen test is fine?
The police prefecture said in a statement that masks will have to be worn for gathering in public spaces, at festivals and spectacles, on markets and when standing in line.
Our London-Paris trip is still on. All the deets handled. Sat down a couple days ago & went through each step of the trip together. SO insisted on printing everything out. I LOL'd as I thought of the Progressive commercial...becoming your parents. Dr Rick.....Tickets everyone? Crowd holds up tickets. Dr Rick....We are off to a horrible start

Then today.....Virgin emails & says they are overbooked & looking for people willing to change to LAX-LHR. Took us a few hours to get together to talk about it but looks like we could make that happen. So we emailed (it was 2:00 am in London) So we wait. They want to offer 2 RT tickets in Upper Class (business) usable in next 3 years. Hold the phone
I guess my concern would be that any particular air carrier would be around as much as 3 years from now, but maybe I'm just remembering the halcyon days of Pan Am and TWA (etc., etc.). So YMMV.
We flew into and out of Berlin thru Amsterdam, and we returned 10/9/2021.
Getting back into Schiphol and Atlanta, not a single soul checked our Covid Test in customs. I almost felt shortchanged.
For those travelling outside the country, in addition to the one calendar day negative COVID test, you need to sign and date an attestation.
The form can be found here:

The airlines collect those on your return flight to the US. Unless you have access to a printer where you are travelling, you should print those before you leave.
If your airline has a "Ready2fly" or equivalent program, you can upload your vaccine information, passport, and COVID test results prior to your flight and you will be cleared to fly without showing those documents again (assuming your vaccination status is valid and you have a negative COVID test). Your "Ready2fly" status is then indicated on your boarding pass and it simplifies the boarding process.
Sorry for the disappointment, Scrapr, but if I had to choose a country to be "stuck" in, the UK would be right up there at the top of my list.
Enjoy it!
Yeah, they (sort of) speak the same language. So there's that.
You didn't hear our bus driver announce the stops. We had our maps app up to see which town we were entering. It's going to be much worse when we get to Edinburgh. LOL I'm not sure Google translate can decipher a good Scottish brogue
Maybe it's just me, but I've never had any trouble understanding people in and around Edinburgh. Yorkshire accents utterly defeat me though.
Such rigamarole AND the chance any one country (OUS) could suddenly decide it was "locked down" due to Omicron would prevent me from even considering international travel. Just returning from Mainland to the Islands was a real hassle.
I know lots of folks here take such issues in stride. The older I get the less I will tolerate hassle - especially when it comes to optional travel. YMMV as always.
So who witnesses the test??For those travelling outside the country, in addition to the one calendar day negative COVID test, you need to sign and date an attestation.
