Delta Air Lines simplifies COVID entry process as US reopens borders

Delta Air Lines will enable passengers to directly upload and verify Covid-19 vaccination certificates and negative test results to coincide with the re-opening of US borders on November 8.

These are key entry requirements imposed by the US government for international travellers wanting to enter the country.

The new updates to the carrier’s Delta FlyReady online tool aim to “help take the guesswork” out of travel for those bound for the US.

It will be available to passengers on “nearly all” international routes bound for the US.

“The tool simplifies the travel experience by sharing a streamlined view of the entry requirements at the customer’s destination, including those beyond health documentation,” the airline said.

Rhonda Crawford, Global distribution and digital strategy senior vice president, said: “In the months ahead, many of our customers will be travelling to the US for the first time since before the pandemic – reuniting with family members, friends or colleagues and reclaiming the joy of travel.

“And though international travel looks a lot different these days, we’ve listened to customers to make updates that will give them more personalised and better access to the information they say is important – removing the guesswork from travel plans and making room for them to enjoy their journey.”
