The Attestation is still in place as is proof of vaccination, other than for permanent residents. If you enter the PNR into VeriFLY (not the flight numbers) it should guide you through the steps but this sort of trip is to say the least a niche case so I would expect it not to work.

I wouldn't worry about it, just allow a few extra minutes at check-in. If you are departing T5 then there is a good chance that if you use the self service machines, "passport" option, scan passport photo page, enter in the 3 character airport code, that it will throw out a boarding pass with ADOC on it, and then that's the last you will hear of the matter. If you were challenged you could perhaps present a paper attestation and paper copy of the vacines, so I would have those printed in this particular scenario. Had you got a green tick based on the correct passport then I wouldn't personally bother with print outs.

Hi.
I'm a little unsure of what to do before a LHR to the US flight next week.
I've used VeriFLY previously on a non US flight but was quite a long time ago.
Today I received the standard email from BA advising me to upload my docs via MMB from 48 hrs before departure to enable online check-in.
I was planning on using VeriFLY which can be completed one day earlier than the MMB ba.com timeframe.
I have asked previously somewhere on this forum but haven't seen an answer when I asked whether completing VeriFLY only will sort everthing AND enable online check-in?
Would it cause potential problems if I completed VeriFLY, then also uploaded my documents via MMB? I've read that using VeriFLY covers the attestation required for the US, but not sure whether that's also covered covered by uploading via MMB on ba.com
Thanks.

Did Verifly just after midnight today, logged into MMB this morning and I have done the BA version. My 7 year old is fully vaccinated, neither Verifly or BA asked for her certificate. Verifly gave her the green tick almost instantly however the BA version is still pending. When I log into to track it, it says ‘We are waiting for you to provide more information to us,’ but there is no where to upload anything or hint at what they are after.

I wouldn't micro-manage this, the information shown on the screen is often incorrect. So long as you have got your VeriFLY ticks, on the day of OLCI you have a good chance of OLCI and getting a boarding pass. You may still need to do a passport scan in LHR.

Flying to DEN tomorrow with 2 kids. Completed everything in Verifly on Friday (T-72), and despite repeated emails from BA telling me to upload documents in MMB, I have just been able to check in online without sending docs to BA. I did update contacts details in MMB.

3 days is a general rule, when BA migrates flights to FLY. But 48 hours would be fine. The attestation should not be done more than 72 hours from departure anyway.

What is the point of Verifly now. As I uploaded all my docs on there. Now BA have asked me to do it on MMB. Been to states twice since Feb not had to do it on MMB before on either of those trips. Feel like I have wasted my time on the verifly app

I thought the same, however at bag drop at NCL I was asked to see the Verifly ticks even though I had done everything on MMB too and got the confirmation emails. Was a quick swipe of my phone and through

VeriFLY recognises my booking ref for Mexico, but says Cancun doesn’t use it, so I assume I go no further with the app, and just present ourselves at Gatters Club checkin…
