I just flew for the first time last week since my last flight in 2019, and I felt okay, just looking at all the mask was strange. No one caused any problems on my Delta flight, which was a blessing, to fly in peace. We had full snacks and the plane was clean. Thanks.
Thank you for this video!!! I have to travel again for work purposes, and before watching this video I was super nervous about it. But thanks to you, I actually feel relieved!
Governments and Airlines needs to make flying easy again/less complicated. Lots of information to take in/digest it making people nervous and confused and people end up making mistakes that means they can't fly. And who suffers, both those intending to travel and the Airlines. The more frustrated and nervous people are the less the numbers of people that will fly.
@@chavitavb we've flown twice since the start of the pandemic - Costa Rica to Miami and then Newark to Spain via Portugal. The Costa Rica flight was packed, but the US-Portugal one was pretty empty. Managed to not get sick on the way fortunately.
I have never understood why they board from front to back( I know, maybe the ones up front pay more) If I was up front I would rather wait than be run over and hit in the head with luggage. Seems like a complete cluster F to me!
I like how concerned they want us to wear masks but yet squeezed all the people in a plane. So the 6 feet apart rule is dismissed because the airlines are greedy.
I'M IN A WHEEL CHAIR AND WOULD BE TAKING A FLIGHT TO SF,CALIF FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE PANDEMIC ,HOW DO THEY DEAL WITH PEOPLE IN WHEEL CHAIRS CAUSE I WAS ABLE BODIED THE LAST TIME I FLU ,also have not gotten the shots for the Covid 19 Virus ?
i’m hard of hearing and autistic so i have to sit next to my mom no matter what and we usually sit next to each other on the plane (preferably left side of the plane since i’m deaf in my left ear and she has to speak in my right ear) and what about waiting to get boarded? can we still sit next to each other??
@@thriftytraveler Never say never 🙃 But it sure seems that way. Thank you 🙏 for answering these air travel questions ✈️ I’m traveling from Arizona to Florida in June ✈️
I traveled 2 weeks ago by myself international flight with a connection flight to Panama, and did not have any problems. I took a PCR test 3 days before the day I was traveling. I had a carry-on bag, so I still had to do the line for the Copa counter like I was dropping a bag, just so they can see my Antigen virus proof results paper copy, and passport of course, and went about my business with my carry-on bag with no problem. For connecting flight they will not ask you results because you are not really entering the country you just doing a connecting flight. Than I took a PCR test in Dominican Republic, got my test results on time, and same thing, I went to Copa counter and gave them the result and that it’s.
@@Adaychoco thanks for your reply. So they only check your vaccination paper once, which is along with your passport at the passport gate? Seems simpler than i thought
@@vihodanyet , When I took my flight from my original airport , they checked my Antigen test at the airline desk before going through security check not at the gate. When you are at the gate means you have all documentations already checked. So no, You have to stop by your airline desk first like Copa, AA, Delta, Spirirt , they are the ones that check the test report , and they still handle me my flight ticket even thought I had my online ticket ready because I did check in online. I hope it makes sense to you.
I need to know if I need separate documentation for connecting through other countries that aren't my final destination. I can't seem to find that information anywhere!
I did an international travel from Florida to Dominican Republic and I had to to a connection flight to Panama, and you don’t need any extra documentation through your connecting flights because you are not really entering the country just connecting. So they would not ask for any antigen test result since you just be connecting. Hope it works for you so you should be fine .
When I last flew, they told me to just leave everything in my suitcase and bag then empty my pockets and take my coat and shoes off. I'm hoping that's still the case next time I fly.
I was planning a trip to Puerto Vallarta Mexico from Texas. I was told you need to have a 72 hour covid test before flying. I was under the impression you need a 72 hour covid test coming from Mexico to Texas but not before. Let me know how I can find out share a link and let me know if I need a covid test leaving the states to Mexico
@@vincehenriquez680 I’m nervous about not getting the right test at the right time, flight cancellations, being stranded at the airport, not being able to fly on a rescheduled flight because the fucking Covid test expired and/or having to pay a fortune, not being able to find a place to eat and starving all day….I’m sure there’s more, but those are the biggies. Life is destroyed forever.
I have so many questions. I’ve only flown out from a Mexico airlines. It’s my first time traveling with a USA airline, some of the questions that I have are for the carry-on can it be a small suitcase if yes perfect BUT what about a backpack. Like to store under you chair? And can you take both? Another one do you have a list of things that are allowed to go on a USA airplane?
Thank you guys so much for posting this! Just to be certain, I'm flying american airlines from SATX to Charlotte to Boston and back, will I need a negative covid test for flying to any of these airports/states?? (I'm not yet vaccinated) It's really hard to find information on flying domestically during covid. I know yall get asked this a lot but it would be really nice to have confirmation personally
No, there is no overarching requirement to get a COVID test before a flight. Just one state currently has COVID testing requirements for entry: Hawaii.
@@thriftytraveler we had to book a flight today from Dallas, TX to California(LAX) for tomorrow. Do we have to take the test? The website is confusing? Is it a recommendation or a requirement

Sorry im coming from.the uk to canada for some days just visiting and the moving to u.s what will i need to do before ,meanwhile and after covidwise please
Canada still has a lot of restrictions in place including a test and hotel quarantine program. There is talk that the hotel program will end in July for fully vaccinated travellers.
Love the video super helpful. I’m flying Michigan to Nigeria and I have a covid test scheduled 48hrs before but it says 72 hrs is required … Is 48 hours okay or does it have to be 72hrs ?
I’m flying from VA to Italy and I was having the same issue with determining when to get a Covid test before landing in Italy. I called a testing site and the doc provided clarity for me.
Do you know if they'll be checking what type of mask I wear? I intend to wear a cotton mask so that my acne doesn't come out again. Also, I am vaccinated.
You'll have to search for a lab or pharmacy performing COVID tests in the UK to get one before you leave - or bring an eligible at-home testing kit with you and perform your own test. Read more here: thriftytraveler.com/guides/tips-to-find-covid-19-test/
This covid stuff has taken all fun out of traveling..I cant find a place were i can get a test and get the results back in the 3 day time frame to get on the flight.Just heard today I now i heard i need fit to fly certificate also..
No, there is no overarching requirement for COVID testing before domestic flights. The only state that currently requires a negative COVID test for entry is Alaska
Now I leave in Atlanta but iam going to Florida in June now what I was informed that if a person luggage is to heavy that they can change you more money is that's true or false and if the person smoke cigarettes can they bring that with them and there lighter theses are things I would like to know please tell me ASAP thanks
Vaccines won’t be free from January 2022, so it’s uncertain. Testing is again in order, so vaccine has proved it doesn’t protect from contracting or spreading the virus. They just need to get rid of the millions of produced doses since Jan 2020 before we will go back to ‘normal’.
Even though planes are starting to fill back up, did you feel pretty safe? My wife and I are flying to Florida this summer and are hoping everyone follows the rules and wears their mask.
Yes, I felt fairly safe. It's still a bit strange - especially if it's your first time flying in a while. But airlines typically do a good job reminding people to keep their masks on. The wild card, of course, is how passengers behave.
So, I have a question. I'm 14 and I'm going from New York to Dominican Republic. Am i suppose to give them my covid-19 test results? Because I don't have one
The best way to avoid wearing a mask over your face is to sip a bottle of water periodically. If anyone gives you a problem, tell them you're drinking water.
My husband and I want to start flying back to Vegas and driving to California, do we have to quarantine when we arrive to Vegas or California, because we only have from Friday til Wednesday; we don't have time to quarantine!
The whole mask thing is the worst. They cause me to have panic attacks. I’m flying for the first time next month on Delta. We’re flying in first class so I’m hoping it will be a good experience. I’m absolutely terrified of having a panic attack mid flight. I can’t wait until the ridiculous mask rule is gone. It definitely takes the joy out of traveling.
I'm fully vaccinated and have never had an issue wearing a mask but it being a federal law to wear a mask on an flight is down right ridiculous. Just shows what kind of special treatments airlines get and the insane paranoia gripping people.
Just shows how obnoxious and entitled some people are that think they are special and not wear a mask. Possibly transmitting the virus is not paranoia.
I just flew for the first time last week since my last flight in 2019, and I felt okay, just looking at all the mask was strange. No one caused any problems on my Delta flight, which was a blessing, to fly in peace. We had full snacks and the plane was clean. Thanks.

How do you find out what states require a test ? I can’t seem to find a solid answer online ?
Good question Please could someone answer?
Check CDC travel planner and type in the state your travelling to. That's what I did, but yeah it was a while to find
I have never understood why they board from front to back( I know, maybe the ones up front pay more) If I was up front I would rather wait than be run over and hit in the head with luggage. Seems like a complete cluster F to me!
I help board flights with prospect and many airlines do preboards and first class, then back to front boarding.
I always wondered the same thing

No, not unless if you are flying to Hawaii. Hawaii is the only state with a COVID-19 test entry requirement.
