The US has an entry requirement for UK residents (and other countries) that requires every traveller entering the US to fill in a passenger attestation form.

I had successfully entered the US November last month (having filled in this form) using Delta's online travel-ready form.

I am travelling to the US again in a few days but this time on United Airlines, their travel-ready system on their app already says I've completed the entry form requirements without me actually doing anything.

Is this because the form I last filled out is still valid and is linked to my passport? Or should I ignore the United Airlines app and fill in the form again? If so, is there an online form I can use again or am I required to have a physical copy.

    Are you referring to the ESTA?

    @JonathanReez no, it's a covid requirement for all US-bound travelers. there's a sample PDF on the CDC website but most (all)? carriers have you fill it out electronically.

This may be one of the more bizarre Covid incompetencies. About half of the times I returned to the US this year I have been yelled at for not having this form at check in.

Typically, I was handed a paper form, dutifully filled it out and than took it home without anyone ever looking for or checking it. I still have a nice collection at home "just in case".

Caveat: in this crazy times: whatever happened to me may no happen to you.

  • Thank you, sounds like I should follow suit and fill it out as a precaution.

    @Sutton your earlier attestation is clearly no longer valid, because your statement that you had a test within the three days before a flight in November cannot serve as a statement that you had a test within the three days before a flight in late December. If the travel-ready system is telling you you're travel ready because of the November attestation then there is a fault in the travel-ready system.
