American Airlines expands access to the VeriFLY app, an easy way to provide results from a negative Covid-19 test for international travellers.

The VeriFLY app, a mobile health passport that helps customers understand and verify their travel requirements, will be available for travellers from today, for travel from all international destinations to the US.

American is expanding access to the app in support of the U.S. government’s requirement that all passengers two years of age and older travelling to the United States from any international location test negative for Covid-19 within three calendar days of departure. The move comes as the US government announces that all US arrivals must undergo a 10-day self-quarantine.

“We’re expanding our work with VeriFLY to quickly evolve our usage of the app and make international travel easier for our customers,” says Julie Rath, Vice President of Customer Experience at American. “We support the implementation of a global program to require Covid-19 testing for travellers to the United States, and we want to do everything we can to make travel a seamless experience for customers. We’ve received positive feedback about the app so far and look forward to more customers having the opportunity to use it.”

Customers can already use VeriFLY to streamline their travel from the U.S. to several countries including Jamaica, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. To date, thousands of American Airlines customers have traveled using the app.

Using the VeriFLY app is simple. After downloading the app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, customers create an account, enter their destination and upload required documentation such as proof of a negative COVID-19 test.

Customers are encouraged to review travel requirements to their destination, including any restrictions on passport or point of origin and to visit American’s website to learn more about VeriFLY and the airline’s preflight testing program.
