Travel Tuesday: US Re-Opening for Entry • Facial Recognition • Interactive Global Travel Rules Map

by Danielle Garrett of PlanIt Travel Designs for The Aha! Connection 

The U.S. has set a re-opening date of November 8 for international travelers entering our country.  This is easiest for fully vaccinated travelers, but unvaccinated travelers can enter as well with strict testing requirements (a negative test taken within one day of departure and an additional test when they return home).  Click here for the full article.

 

Delta is expanding its facial recognition to domestic passengers at the Atlanta airport.  Touchless technology is the focus for many airports going forward to reduce long lines and unnecessary contact.  Passengers interested in using Delta’s facial recognition must participate in TSA’s Pre-check program ($85 to register for five years and $70 to renew for five years).  TIP: Several credit cards will reimburse you for the cost of TSA Pre-check.  Two examples are the Visa Capital One Venture card and the Platinum American Express card.
