Any US citizen who fly today and next few days, were you able to do mobile check-in and obtain boarding pass on your phone, instead of going to check-in desks to show negative tests? I'm just curious, with this no-test requirement, are we actually almost return to old days - Waltz through gate (or lounge first) once you arrive European or anywhere airports for U.S. bound destinations?

My experience has been that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've never been able to find a consistent pattern for why it works or doesn't, either in my experience or forum posts. Obviously YMMV.

I have been checking in online with AA using Verifly throughout the pandemic flying between Spain and the US.

When I flew BA LHR-IAD in March I was able to check-in via the app after I submitted my negative test.

Here is what the Air Canada OLCI looked like this morning.

For my family's flight LH, they asked to check that they understand the mask policy and to upload their proof of vaccination during OLCI. No online attestation.

They have introduced a new attestation form that is the same level of ridiculous as the previous one, but of course skips the part about test results and only applies to vaccination status. Also, given that US Citizens and residents have no requirement to be vaccinated, it is only to be filled out by non-resident foreigners.

I flew back into the US on June 11 and had my negative test result in hand. No one even looked at it then nor did they ask for it. If I had known that, i'd not have wasted nearly $150.
