Covid-tested flights from NY to Venice

If you are planning on traveling on a COVID tested flight ticketed by Delta: the DL website is pretty thorough with info and steps to take regarding advance PCR tests and day of departure procedures. Take a look at the page and choose your applicable route and departure date category: https://www.delta.com/us/en/travel-planning-center/know-before-you-go/italy-covid-tested-flights

Beware… rapid-result PCR tests are not cheap. IME the cost can range from USD 150 to USD 300+

I hope you all make your arrangements correctly so that you will be able to board on your scheduled departure date.

From what I have read on the embassy sites, a vaccinated US citizen can travel to Italy, I see "Last updated: 05/25/2021 Travelers departing on COVID-tested international flights between the United States and Italy are not currently subject to quarantine upon arrival in Italy. I see the same thing for Greece. But once I've traveled from the USA to Italy and then from Italy to Greece, will Greece have an issue with me because I am not flying direct to Greece? I look forward to any comments/feedback, thanks

I’m posting this for information as we had mixed messages before leaving for Italy.

2 of my children only have (just under) 5 months left on their passports. Before booking Ryanair flights to Italy I checked the gov.uk website and Ryanair website that both stated 3 months left on passports was needed. When we came to check in online with Ryanair, there is tick box to confirm you have 6 months left on your passport. Also stated in several places that you must have 6 months remaining. Various further web searches gave both answers. Calling Ryanair I was told, yes it had to be 6 months and we would not be able to travel. Having already booked airport hotel, parking and Covid tests we decided to try to fly.

(We had our Covid tests with collinsons at Stanstead which were excellent and efficient- they take swabs, email results sent in 30 minutes)

The result is - we are in Italy. No one cared/ mentioned the less than 6 months remaining on the passports.

Incidentally no one asked to see our Covid results (they asked if we’d had them before checking in but no evidence asked for)

Hope this helps someone. We had a very stressful preceding 48hours!

Hi, everyone! I'd really like some help please!

Next month, I shall be flying to Rome from my home on the Greek island of Crete for a few days. I have read the notes re the PLF on the Italian Government website & am a bit confused.

I've completed PLF forms before with no problem, but I have had direct flights to & from the UK. This time, I'll be travelling from my local airport at Chania, to Athens Airport, where I have to change flights to fly into FCO.

So, my question is for anyone living in the EU who has changed flights in the country where they live, then flown into Italy. For instance, if you live in France you might have had to fly from your local airport to Paris to get the flight to Italy.

So, my question is : did you complete the PLF stating both flights, or only the one into Italy? Did you have any problems & did you make the right decision?

Thanks very much!

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT FOR RESIDENTS OF CANADA, JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES SEEKING ENTRY INTO ITALY FOR ANY LAWFUL PURPOSE (including for tourism/leisure)

The Ordinance signed into law today by Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza contains a provision in Article 6 (hyperlinked below) which provides that Canada, Japan and the United States will be moved from List E to List D effective Sunday, May 16.

THIS MEANS THAT SUCH PERSONS WILL BE ALLOWED ENTRY INTO ITALY FOR ANY LAWFUL PURPOSE, INCLUDING TOURISM AND LEISURE TRAVEL, but subject to the entry conditions, which AT THE MOMENT require a negative molecular OR antigenic test performed no more than 48 hours beforehand, 10 DAYS OF SELF-ISOLATION, and a second molecular OR antigenic test at the conclusion of the period of self-isolation. Proof of vaccination or recovery from the virus are NOT for the present recognized conditions for entry into Italy (but this may change soon).

THE 10-DAY PERIOD OF SELF-ISOLATION IS WAIVED FOR THOSE ARRIVING IN ITALY ON "COVID-TESTED" FLIGHTS.

THIS MEANS THAT CANADIANS, JAPANESE AND AMERICANS WILL BE ALLOWED ENTRY INTO ITALY STARTING THIS SUNDAY, WITHOUT THE NEED TO SELF-ISOLATE FOR 10 DAYS, PROVIDED THEY ENTER ITALY ON A "COVID-TESTED" FLIGHT.

To all you travelers heading to Italy: even if you are vaccinated, many here are not. Keep your anti-Covid practices in place. Inquire in advance with your lodging as to their anti-Covid practices and vaccination status. Do the same with your private driver(s).

I made a quick first-time overnight side trip to Capri yesterday only to be told this morning that one of the guests who occupied my room before me and who checked out just before I checked in yesterday subsequently tested positive for Covid this morning. Even though I am fully vaccinated (Pfizer; jabs on April 2 and 23) I am now in isolation at my original hotel after undergoing a test today (negative) and have been advised I should remain here at least until another test is performed after a few days.

Don’t let your guard down now. The bastard is still out there and you may be subject to isolation if you are possibly exposed.

Hello,

I am a fully vaccinated American, I arrived in Milan from the US on August 31, and have been in Italy since.

I am traveling to Sardinia (via plane) on September 4. When I booked these flights, I was aware that all I needed to show was my equivalent of the Green Pass. However, now, there are new regulations for vaccinated Americans needing to show a recent negative tests if they have been in the US within the past 14 days. I know this applies to Americans entering Italy from overseas, but does it apply to Americans who have only been in Italy for less than 14 days?

I know I do not need to fill out a new passenger locator form, but I am confused about the test.

I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

If anyone has any information on this, it would be much appreciated!

I'm curious with any additional Covid-related steps needed after we land to get through customs... how long does it take to get through customs now?

I booked a Delta "Covid Tested" flight from Atlanta to Rome (FCO), and we're landing on a Wednesday morning at 7:45am.

The reason why I ask: we're planning to go straight to Sorrento via train, and want to book train tickets in advance. Wondering how much time we should plan between landing at FCO and getting on the train. FCO > Roma Termini > Napoli > Sorrento

We need PCR COVID Tests for our flights from Milan to SFO. Can anyone recommend any sites? Thanks in advance!!!
