More COVID test options for UA flyers: More hubs same day testing (SFO+DEN, IAH, EWR)
In the recent UA announcement about Hawaii COVID preclearance was
United is also making it easier for customers to obtain approved COVID-19 test options with the expansion of mail-in tests to customers no matter where in the U.S. their travel originates. The airline will notify customers in advance of their Hawaii trip to let them know what testing options they have locally. Last year, United also teamed up with XpresCheck to open additional same-day testing facilities for United customers in select airports. XpresCheck currently has locations open in United's Denver terminal, and expects to open additional locations in United's terminals in Houston and Newark in the coming weeks. Customers who choose to take a test with XpresCheck can schedule an appointment online for a rapid molecular test on the same day as their travel. Walk up appointments are also available on a first come, first served basis. Use this tool to find test locations (worldwide) |
IAH needs same day testing, especially because of the large number of daily flights to and from Mexico. Mexico has a massive number of Covid deaths.
Spring Break is coming up and many thousands of pax will be flying to Mexican beach towns. |

What does this mean? How are they "expanding" mail-in tests? |
What about home town ORD?

Maybe I'm missing something, how does this help at all for Intl travel to get back into the country. Unless you're going for <3 days, you need a same day test at your Intl destination, not the outbound airport.

This is a step needed if the administration says you need a negative test prior to domestic which is now being discussed.....
|
I take weekend beach trips to Mexico and the Carribean out of IAH, so it would help weekend trippers like me. I have also taken weekend trips to Hawaii, Japan, Alaska and other locations now or soon requiring testing.
This will also help with my weekly domestic trips if the new admin mandates testing for all commercial flights. I would use the same test for departure, arrival, and return because I usually go for only one, two or three days. |

I still don't know what the announcement means. I get that they have a program with ADL health, but it's not any special deal, and anyone who lives anywhere in the US going to Hawaii can use Costco/AZOVA or Vault for mail-in testing at the same price.
Also the website reports, this is not just a Hawaii program -- it refers to mail-in program also for the UK, Canada,Latin America and the Caribbean. Have no additionally information, just reading what is on the website |
