CHECK THIS LINK FOR YOUR LOT NUMBER ON YOUR BinaxNOW Covid Tests for the extended expiration date:
Previously, it was on https://ohio.emed.com/ but the link has been removed.
The good news is that as of mid-Dec 2021, Abbott Labs is apparently shipping only kits with printed expiration dates well into 2022.

Hi, just wondering if anybody is running into problems with airline carriers accepting these tests, rather than a PCR test? Or is that a thing of the past, and there's no problems boarding? Thanks
Just to clarify - I was curious about entry into the US.

LH (ex Napoli) and UA (ex FRA) both accepted test-result letters on Monday of this week without even scanning the QR code.

Are you asking for pretravel testing before flights to the US? If so, I haven't seen a case where these have been refused for that purpose. (There might be some explanation required if traveling back from a less common destination.) Many other travel locations, however, do not allow proctored at home rapid antigen tests even if rapid antigen tests are otherwise permitted.

Checked in at BJX (Mexico) just now and the AA agent seemed to already have my Covid test, despite my never sharing it with anyone. Strange.

I was going to order the eMed tonight when I found out that there is the Azova: https://www.azova.com/flowflexvideo/ and the Flowflex test is available at Costco - $40 for 5. You just pay $20/proctored test when you do it with Azova. I already have some of the Flowflex on-hand.
So, either pay $150 + shipping for 6 with unknowns of how much will get reimbursed. Or, get the Flowflex (which is covered under the new regulation) and just pay the $20 for the test, which might or might not be required.

Any other folks with experiince on Azova? It's all about solid connectivity for me.

Can someone who recently ordered these tests please report the expiration date? I want to use them through at least August and don't want to get tests that will expire before then. Thanks in advance.

I have confirmed with Bahamas Health that they are accepting the eMed BinaxNOW tests for travel to the Bahamas…. Has anyone had any issues with AA regarding these tests

Edit: slight date correction
We had no trouble with AA to STX but there was the intermediate step of getting USVI approval.

I just used them to return from DBV. The check in agents for TK were confused by them and tried to tell me they couldn't accept a "home test". So I had to go over to the TK desk and explain to them that the test was approved. Her only question was "so you're sure the US accepts these tests". I confirmed and she said it was fine. When I went back to check in counter, they only asked if the TK agent said the tests were allowed. I never had to show them the test again - they never even checked my wife or son's tests. They just took my word for it.
