June 24 - Delta customers now have more ways to meet COVID-19 test requirements introduced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and many international governments during the pandemic. Convenient and accurate in-home rapid antigen tests that can be shipped directly to a home address or picked up locally are now available for purchase on delta.com.

 

In partnership with AZOVA, now available Ellume COVID-19 Home Tests are single-packaged and offer highly accurate results in minutes. Results sync directly to a compatible smartphone, are authorized for use for children age two years and older and are compliant with government reporting requirements. Tests are available for purchase today via delta.com for $50.* In-home PCR testing options from other third-party testing providers continue to be available as well.

 

 

These options enable customers headed abroad to travel with control. To ensure testing requirements are met:

• Use the Delta Discover Map to plot your origin and destination, and click “search.” In seconds, see the latest detailed information around test requirements, quarantine restrictions, additional paperwork needed and other local government information. If a negative test is required, the map will detail the types of tests accepted. As a reminder, the U.S. government requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test for all air passengers entering the U.S. (including U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents), regardless of vaccination status • Once you identify the test(s) accepted for your itinerary, visit Delta’s testing resources page to learn about the in-home and in-person options that meet your destination’s guidelines. Do your research – not all destinations accept the same type of test, so choose the best option for you • Once results are available, bring your results throughout your day of travel and confirm if any government-specified pre-departure test result registration documentation is required. 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.

 

Delta is also offering a bundled testing option for customers traveling to the U.K. Available for purchase on delta.com,*** in a couple of clicks, customers can purchase all the tests they need to meet entry requirements for travel to the U.K. in one curated bundle shipped to your door.****
