TIJ to JFK Testing Question
I'm planning a TIJ to JFK itinerary with a short connection in MEX. I'll use CBX from San Diego to the terminal in TIJ. Any guesses as to whether or not I'll need a PCR or Antigen test to board the second flight from MEX to JFK?

Edit - if you were flying JFK-TIJ, you would NOT require a test to cross CBX.
Yes, you'll require a test within 1 calendar day of departure to the United States. TIJ is not a US airport, even if it has a US terminal, and requires customs and immigration clearance on both ends. You are leaving the US and traveling back internationally by air, to which the regulation applies.
Benefit is that you can use a $25, reimbursable, eMed proctored test.

No need to guess, you'll need a test (and vaccination if you're not a US citizen):

If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status or citizenship) no more than 1 day before you travel by air into the United States. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.
If you recently recovered from COVID-19, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (i.e., your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Of course SAN-JFK requires none of the above. Also saves test, CBX, FMM, etc.
