Example you take the covid test on that day but do it early in the morning like 9am and get your results by 9:30am?
So it would be like 80 hours from your flight departure which is more than the 72 hours. Or do you have to take the test at around 3pm on that day?
Also, all airlines have the same policy right? Talking about delta, jetblue, american etc.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that regardless of what the rules officially are, it's the airline that is your gatekeeper. On more than one occasion I have either personally experienced or have seen others having issues with the rule not implemented per law--and it's the airline that can deny boarding for their interpretation of the law and you without recourse. So keep this in mind. I would error on the side of being well within the guidelines versus on the edge of it in case you get that one ticketing agent who doesn't know and doesn't care and will deny you boarding.
