'HOME' OR 'SELF' COVID TESTS
'Home' or 'Self' COVID tests will generally not be accepted for international air travel. Most foreign countries do not allow entry with these types of COVID test. AMC terminals will not accept self-tests unless the Foreign Clearance Guide or receiving country guidelines specify self-testing procedures and documentation.
For travel from a foreign country to the United States, ‘Home’ or ‘Self’ COVID tests must meet requirements listed on the CDC website under the 'Test and Documentation Requirements' section.
POSITIVE COVID TEST PROCEDURES
Do not proceed to the AMC Passenger Terminal if you currently have COVID. Arriving to the terminal with an active case increases the risk of spreading the virus to other passengers. Contact your Transportation Office or booking agency to be placed in medical hold status and to arrange alternative travel options.
If you are previously recovered from COVID, you must present proof of COVID positive results and written documentation from a treating physician indicating:
- Date of symptoms onset
- Start of the 3 month (90 day) period
- Statement the traveler has recovered.
NOTE: Foreign countries have different entry requirements. Some countries may not allow entry for passengers presenting documentation of recovery or may differ slightly. Check the Foreign Clearance Guide for specific COVID entry requirements.
