Published Updated

The United States is open to foreign nationals who are fully vaccinated. Some requirements apply even for fully vaccinated travellers, including U.S. nationals and residents, who are entering or transiting via the USA (some exemptions apply), e.g: 

  • Disclosure and attestation form must be filled before checkin-in to the flight 
  • The required travel documents for entry, including a valid ESTA for visa-waiver nationals.
  • If the customer has applied for ESTA before the travel ban imposed by the US authorities, the ESTA may have been cancelled. In that case the customer must apply for a new ESTA. 
  • When traveling to Los Angeles customers are required to fill out an online health declaration form at https://travel.lacity.org/. This applies to all customers over the age of 16. Other AY destinations in the USA do not require the completion of a health declaration form.
