Billy Jean King Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 US entry requirements Travelers will need to show proof of full vaccination prior to boarding U.S.-bound planes. A COVID-19 test will also continue to be required within three days of departure and proof of negative results must be shown. Enhanced contact tracing and masking will also be required.So proof of a negative test AND proof of double vaccine AND enhanced contact tracing / masking (whatever that means). Will give it a miss until next summer I think but a step in the right direction especially for separated families. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) What are "enhanced masking requirements"? The US are severe on masks during flights and anyone 2 years old and up has to wear one. Whether there ends the enhanced requirements or not, who knows. Edit: may have read that wrong.

welshbairn Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Think the enhanced contact tracing will give them access to your phone, so delete any intention to overthrow the Government or communist sympathies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it will matter a toss if you're going to a red state like Florida or Texas. Would be giving a wide berth to the psychos in places like New York and California for the time being. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going out in 2023 (booked and paying it already!), I have to say it wouldn't be my first choice destination. We have friends in Florida who we are going to see and do a bit travel around the state. Obligatory stop in Orlando to do universal and maybe Magic Kingdom for last few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Would have been great if they could have arranged this so I could meet my fiance's family in Oregon for the first time this week instead of having to slum it in Spain ffs Got a refund on the tickets so no harm in the end I suppose Edited September 20, 2021 by Genuine Hibs Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Also booked to go to Florida next year so happy at this. Obviously hope it continues for the foreseeable. We've had to test our 3 year old 3 times since Wednesday. 2 tests were failures. Thankfully the 3rd was negative. He wasn't actually deemed a close contact but nursery weren't keen to have any kids back without a negative pcr test. Fucking horrible trying to test someone who has no understanding of why or what you are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
