Ability to upload COVID docs for transborder (To USA) flights?
I couldn't find anything - not a WS member. I've checked the app and website - and can't find anything when opening the res for vax proof, attestation form, negative test result (something similar to DL Fly Ready)?
Thanks
Thanks

Question for those who fly WS more often than me these days: having done it once does the system remember the documents or do you have to upload them each time?

As for your proof of negative COVID test, that is not uploaded during check-in, and just sighted at the airport by an agent.

YVR to LAS - checked at bag drop
LAS to YYC - checked at bag drop
YVR to LAS - checked at bag drop
LAX to YVR - checked at gate
Approx. 3-4 months ago:
YVR to YYC x 2 - checked at bag drop
YYC to YVR (x2? not sure) - checked at bag drop
Uploaded every single time without issue during OLCI, yet they seem to inevitably ask. Guess I've just been having bad luck. It's a small bother, but it is certainly a nuisance when you're trying to juggle your travel documents, COVID test, boarding pass, putting the bag on the scale, etc.

LAS to YYC - checked at bag drop
YVR to LAS - checked at bag drop
LAX to YVR - checked at gate since our boarding pass didn't have a check mark/stamp
Approx. 3-6 months ago:
YVR to YYC x 2 - checked at bag drop
YYC to YVR x 1 - checked at bag drop... maybe x 2. We may have gotten away with it the second time, don't remember.
YVR to YYZ - checked at bag drop
YYZ to YVR - don't remember

Have had the same issue with AC x 6 in the past 5 months. Always have gotten my "travel documents approved" after OLCI, yet still have to produce my vaccination records at bag drop.

On my most recent journey to the US (at the start of the month) I was asked only to confirm that I had seen and understood an attestation form; while I took this to mean that I needed to fill out the form, I was not actually asked to do so as part of OLCI or at any time at the airport.

I downloaded an electronic copy to my Apple Wallet (but also have a hard copy in my backpack). I visited the US 3 times this year and once in 2021; was never asked to verify in-person.
