Travelers have few options when it comes to destinations since March as lockdowns and travel bans persisted across the globe including Europe due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a possibility the situation could change during the holiday season
The Trump administration releases plans to re-open travel from New York to London by the holiday season, according to people versed in the matter.
As the coronavirus pandemic hit American shores, the U.S. government worked furiously to ramp up testing availability. It seems the hard work has paid off as the U.S. can provide rapid testing for most people, particularly travelers.
Individuals traveling between London and New York will be tested prior to their flight and immediately after landing at their destination. This will effectively eliminate the pesky 14-day quarantine period that was required for all travelers due to a lack of testing.
The plan has been spearheaded by a mixture of U.S. agencies along with U.K. counterparts to reach an agreement for travel between the corridor to resume this year. That said, there still are plenty of challenges.
