We may not need Verifly to return to the US, but what about other countries that still require testing to enter (Trinidad & Tobago)? I'm heading there in a few weeks and they still require a negative test for entry so I presume Verifly will still be around for such cases.

FWIW I received the negative test results notification. I then went to the verifly app and I had my ready to travel cert there with my smiling mug. When I checked in today at T-24 the "ready for travel" message automatically just popped up. It was verifly. I wonder when AA will remove all traces of this app as it has no more functionality with AA and flying.

Even Air Canada didn't ask for all of that information at the gate when coming from the US to YVR. Flying AA to YUL on Friday - Verifly completed with green checks - will be interested to see how AA handles things at the gate. Hopefully, my OLCI works as the last thing I want to do is have to get to the airport even earlier to get a boarding pass.

i Booked a trip to Europe in the Fall and pulled up the PNR in the Verifly app. 4 segments Domestic then International, return Intenational then Domestic.
All green except the return International. All segments are AA (nothing BA) Says too soon to enter.
Today I made a change in date on the return flight - Same PNR - but new ticket number. Using SWUs -ticket before was confirmed in First and Business on all 4 segments. For the changed I am confimred now on 3 segments - except the last domesitc segment.
I removed and cancelled the PNR from the Verifly App, then tried to load it and it says:
"Unfortunately, at ths time, regional/domestic flights in your booking are not supported" Says Retry but same thing.
So I tried this on an upcoming domestic only flight - and get the same message.
Did something change over the past day? Or is there a problem wih Verifly?

Checking into DFW-MAD last week it was prompting me to verify via Verifly but every time I tried it would give me a "data error." Coming back to the US it just asked me for contact tracing info. Hopefully last time I ever need to use that dreadful app! Traveling on business trying to justify the fee for expedited checking of docs is something I will not miss!

Also most of Europe has done away with any kind of covid related docs and checks so depending on where you're going you probably won't even need it.

Arrghhh - how American Eagle can flummox the thing
Traveling from CLT to YYZ tomorrow via BOS. While I’d normally check in via the AA app, VeriFLY gets in the way. While the help section for VeriFLY notes it won’t handle codeshares, you’re hopeful that when it’s part of the American (as opposed to oneWorld or the JetBlue alliance) family, check in will still work and VeriFLY might be bypassable. But nope. Republic’s operation of the BOS-YYZ flight throws the monkey wrench in. Hopefully check in will go well in person.

Should I still be using VerifFLY as a UK citizen flying from the UK to the US? I imagine I still need to upload vaccination proof somewhere, I don't know if I can just wait til OLCI at T-24 or if I need to be more proactive?

This is so frustrating, I'm flying ONT-DFW-YYZ and even though I'm using the ArriveCAN app, AA will not allow me to check in because I haven't used the VeriFLY app. However, when I try to use it, it will not allow me to add any trips or flights. There should be a bypass if you are using a country's dedicated app.
ETA: Apparently the app is broken on this version of iOS as my old iPhone has an older version and seems to work

I have just used the app for our flights MAD-DFW-MSO next Wednesday. I've familiarised myself with the quirks of this app over the past few weeks and, when it came to doing attestations and scanning of our vaccination documents as soon as we could (today), it instantly recognised the QR code of our EU vaccination certificates and green passes were issued immediately. Much easier than anticipated. Phew!

Just realized I posed this in the wrong forum. I meant to post in this one.
Flying PHL to NAS in six weeks. I am fully vaccinated. Added my flights to VeriFLY but am confused about what the app is showing for entry requirements to the Bahamas. The Bahamas no longer requires a negative COVID-19 test for fully vaccinated travelers for entry to the country. Only need to provide proof of vaccination now. Unvaccinated travelers are still required to submit a negative test. Why does the checklist for my trip in the VeriFLY app have both options to "Submit a vaccination for review (optional)" and "COVID-19 test review"?

Once they verify your vax cert the option for a negative test should go away, you'll get the green check and be good to go.
