So, be sure you have completed your health questionaire on the safe travels app along with uploading test results. The questionaire (that ultimatley leads to you getting the almighty QR code) can only be done within 24-hours of departure and since I uploaded my negative Covid results +/- 48 hours I couldn't do it then and forgot. It just took a few minutes but was a but of unneeded last minute stress while trying to board (they well may have made an annoucement but I had headphones on most of the time at the gate).
