These were all Delta personnel, clearly unaware of Schengen and entry rules for Europeans. Twice I was lucky enough to have another business trip programmed and be able to show tickets to prove I would not "overstay", but another time i had to book a quick Oslo-London Ryanair flight for 20-something euros to show it as a proof that I wasn't going to overstay Norway. These were all the return leg of my EU-US-EU usual business trips, and not even explaining that I am not "going to" Europe but "coming back" and showing my itinerary would help.
What I mean with all this is that
sometimes airport and airline personnel might be wrong about the rules that apply at destination, and as a passenger you are always exposed to that risk. Good luck @

I agree. I was at DTW a few weeks ago and DL didn't let a woman and her family board the flight to AMS, saying that because she and her family wasn't boosted, they weren't allowed to board the flight. The woman explained that this was a codeshare flight with KLM and were connecting at AMS to get to PRG and the Czech Republic didn't require the booster or PCR test, but the DL employees were being DL employees. I tried stepping in to explain but again DL employees were being DL employees threatened to cancel my reservation (I know, right?) so I gave the woman Delta's priority number, told her to snitch on them and ask the people on the phone to check her in before I left to go through security and catch my flight.
