Which Test Is Right for Me?
Use our interactive Delta Discover Map to view the testing requirements for your destination and use the “Testing Locations” feature to help you choose your type of test or provider by country. Be sure to note the accepted test type(s), required testing time frame and whether at-home and/or in-person testing is needed.
The most universally accepted COVID-19 test type is a molecular PCR test, however many destinations accept other forms of NAAT tests as well as antigen tests. Most destinations do not accept antibody tests for entry. The FDA’s COVID-19 Test Basics is a good overview of test types. Tests must be taken within a specified period prior to travel and this time frame will be defined by your destination.
At-home tests (including antigen test options from our partners at eMed and AZOVA) are typically ordered online, shipped to your address and completed in your own home. At-home tests can be virtually proctored and fully completed over video, or in some cases, they may need to be sent to a lab for processing.
Proctored test results are accepted for entry into many countries (please check your destination’s requirements) and this type of test is portable and can be taken with you on your trip.
After you receive any required test results, upload them to Delta FlyReady for faster check-in on your day of travel.
Please be aware that some destinations do not accept at-home tests or may not allow you to bring an at-home test into the destination. Please confirm government guidelines using our Delta Discover Map before selecting this option.
