“Even as the U.S. achieves widespread immunity through vaccinations, many international countries lag behind the U.S. in vaccination rates. Testing and proof of a negative test result within 72 hours of travel remain core components for entry to many international destinations as well as to return to the U.S. during the global pandemic,” said Henry Ting – S.V.P. & Chief Health Officer. “These new purchase and pack COVID-19 tests offer a convenient option to provide proof of a negative test result and enable a seamless experience for our customers.”

Customers entering the U.S. can directly upload their negative test results prior to check-in.
Delta recently announced Delta FlyReadySM – a digital health credential solution that saves customers time by allowing them to verify test results prior to arrival at the airport. Currently, the solution is available on a limited basis for customers traveling on Delta or Virgin Atlantic-operated flights between the U.S. and U.K..** The airline plans to introduce more routes in the future.
Initially, the solution will help customers manage testing requirements, but Delta plans to integrate vaccination credentials into Delta FlyReady later this summer – great news for customers looking to travel to Delta FlyReady-eligible destinations that require proof of vaccination for entry in the future.
