ATLANTA, USA, (DELTA News Hub) – As US borders reopen to foreign visitors and the holiday season approaches, many are eager to reconnect with the places and people they’ve longed to see. Delta FlyReadySM and the Delta Discover Map give customers invaluable tools to plan, prepare and go.
Customers on nearly all international routes bound for the US will be able to use new built-in functionality in Delta FlyReady to directly upload and verify their COVID-19 vaccination certificate and negative COVID-19 test results, starting Nov. 8. Those are key entry requirements imposed by the US government for travelers wishing to enter the country starting as borders reopen.
While US-based travelers have been taking advantage of Delta FlyReady for many destinations since this summer, new updates coming in November help take the guesswork out of travel for those bound for the US in the weeks and months ahead. 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.
Delta is also preparing updates to the Delta Discover Map, which has already inspired and informed countless travelers as they plan their journeys.
“In the months ahead, many of our customers will be traveling to the US for the first time since before the pandemic – reuniting with family members, friends or colleagues and reclaiming the joy of travel,” said Rhonda Crawford, S.V.P. – Global Distribution & Digital Strategy. “And though international travel looks a lot different these days, we’ve listened to customers to make updates that will give them more personalized 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.”
