What countries are the US letting in?

[jonathan]

We fly to Jamaica 3rd July for 2 weeks and then continue to Florida for 4 weeks before flying home. We are really looking forward to the Jamaica part of the trip and have a great all inclusive resort booked.

Hevfev, when you enter the US you still need an ESTA. Multiple people have reported that their ESTA was cancelled when they did online check-in before their flight to the US. The recommendation is to check-in at the airport. Also you need to have been in the bridge country for 14 full days, don't count your arrival day.

Also make sure you get travel insurance that covers the trip.

Hope you get it sorted.

So stay 15 nights to be compliant?

[harber78]

Yes stay 15 days.

On my flight from Cancun to USA met 3 women (not together) who had been refused entry to USA previous day and had to return to Cancun and fly next day as immigration guy said 14 clear days not 14 days by 24 hour clock.

Luckily they had enough pesos to pay for overnight accommodation.

Yes that's what I have done with my booking. I read a few people who did 14 nights and were refused boarding. Others have been ok but I just don't want to worry about it for 2 weeks!

So one more night in paradise

And it’s beautiful and safe with low case numbers, high vaccination rate and excellent covid protocols. Go for it! Sick and tired of being locked up in the UK when the rest of the world is out there travelling again. We have been fully vaccinated for months, so very fortunate. The flight attendants on the BA flight were so genuine when thanking everyone for travelling again, for some it was their first flight after 14 months of furlough! The industry is being destroyed.

Even if they don't require a test people should still get one before traveling so they aren't potentially spreading variants to other countries. I don't really agree with people using other countries to get to where they want to go and potentially causing a spike in cases in those countries. Also the rest of the world is absolutely not out travelling again, if there is a restriction on travel from your country there is good reason for it.

Seems to be a lot of that on here at the moment

We know someone who flies via Aruba to go to the States. They are there now. The only downside is that as the FCDO still says no non-essential travel just about nearly all travel insurance would be invalid, not something I would want to be without in the US...

Our Staysure insurance is absolutely clear. If we travel to any country against FCDO advice (as in USA currently) our policy is immediately invalid.

As two post-cancer 75 year olds not an option.

Others may take a different view of medical risk.

You know that when you sign up to theDibb one of the conditions you agree to is not to comment on the nature of other people's posts.

So whilst you might be mad at what people reply with, they aren't breaking the forum rules, but by commenting and making presumptions on their reasons for doing so you would be.

Maybe you are being mad at the wrong person and should instead cast that ire at the people breaking the forum rules

I read you can pay extra for cover if going against FCDO advice. I already have insurance with staysure but willing to pay extra for the extra insurance to cover us. (Sure we had an email covering this)
I will definitely not be going without valid insurance as I have children and it isn’t worth the risk.
