When I booked this a couple months ago, I was hoping that the testing requirements for vaccinated travelers would be loosened by then (no more post-arrival testing, and perhaps also no more pre-departure testing or allowance of antigen tests). But alas, it doesn't look like anything will change by my travel dates.
If you were in this situation, would you rather:
- Not leave the transit area, and therefore travel on only the antigen test required for entry to the US, or
- Spend the night in a real bed, which requires getting a PCR test both in LHR and YYZ?
Edit: When I made this booking, I could swear this was the above was the best routing available. It now appears there is an AC1289 YYZ-PHX at 19:30 on Feb 14, eliminating the need for the overnight layover. Will try to change my flight with tomorrow. This was a Latitude fare so hopefully the cost to change won't be too significant.
Update: Was able to change to the same day connection and save $50 in the process.
