Canada-US air travel in Covid-19
score:5
Accepted answer
Info is subject to change, but as the writing of my answer, here's a summary:
- You can enter by air to the US even for non-essential travel. A COVID rapid test is enough to enter the US.
- The non-essential ban to enter the US applies to land crossings only.
- There is no equivalent of ArriveCan to enter the US.
- To go back to Canada, you must get a test accepted by Canada (PCR/NAAT) no more than 72 hours before your arrival. Rapid tests are not accepted to enter Canada. Most free tests in the US are either PCR or NAAT and have a turnaround of less than 72 hours, so in principle this can be done free of charge.
Other criteria for travel must be met (e.g. not having visited certain countries, a reasonable reason to travel, etc). But for the most part as a Canadian you should be good to travel by air.
Government websites are sometimes dense, but the rules are constantly evolving, so they remain your best source.
Many airlines also have wizards to help you navigate requirements like this one from American Airlines.
