Planning a trip to Europe? There's a new CDC requirement you'll need to know about when flying home. ✈️
Starting November 4, travelers boarding any international flight into the United States must sign a statement confirming they haven't been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) within the past 21 days.
Yes, even if your itinerary is entirely in Europe. And yes, even if you're a U.S. citizen.
It may be a small additional step for most travelers, but it's an important one to understand before arriving at the airport.
I love helping my clients discover incredible destinations, but staying current on travel requirements is just as important as planning the fun parts!
