Award EU American tourist travel in Sep 2020?

We have award tickets September 4 DFW to AMS and return September 13 CDG to DFW. These flights seem to be flying everyday We are tourist.
When might we be told that we can not board the planes to fly to Europe? two weeks in advance, one day in advance, or at the gate? No once exactly knows when Europe
will open up to American tourist, but how soon before the flight might we be notified. thanks j747

There will be no AMS travel for US travelers one month from now.

You will not be notified. It is up to you to determine whether you are admissible. If you are not admissible, you will be denied boarding. Most likely at the check-in counter, but possibly as late as the gate. If your air carrier makes a mistake, you might even be flown to AMS, where you will be held in custody until the next flight and placed on that flight back to the US.

It is beyond unlikely that the Netherlands will be open for US tourist travel by the date of your travel. However, if it is, there is close to a certainty that it will come with a quarantine requirement on arrival. You would also be subject to quarantine upon return to the US.

You didn't just ruin my day. You just confirmed my vacation fears. There will be another year to travel to Europe. Thanks J747

If you are pining for Europe, remember Croatia is an option. We considered it but ended up deciding on the carribean.

You still need to have a covid test "x" time before you arrive. That is new--it was before completely unrestricted so now there are only two places left that have zero covid restrictions:

1. Turkey
2. The Moon

It will be at check in, she will be like "where are you flying today", you will be like "AMS", she will be like "you better be Dutch"...

It is what it is, as DT would say...

Serbia does't require a test. We were going, but decided to go to Mexico.

Now we don't want the Man in the Moon to get COVID do we? I would look into doing a stopover in Turkey and the possibility of getting a COVID test there before continuing on to, say, to the UAE. IST was doing testing upon arrival for USD $16 with on-airport processing and results within 2 hours.

Croatia is a beautiful Country.

Also OP, consider the Maldives! Better snorkeling than Turkey and fewer hassles than the Moon!

Brazil doesn’t require a test for people landing at certain airports. All you need is proof of health insurance coverage during your stay.
