✈️ Heads up, travelers! New CDC requirement for flights to the US 🇺🇸
As of November 3, 2026, at 11:59 pm EST, everyone boarding an international flight to the United States (including connecting flights through the US) must sign a short statement, called an attestation, confirming they have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in the 21 days before their flight.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️ This applies to ALL travelers, including US citizens
✔️ It applies even if you’re just connecting through a US airport
✔️ The form is quick and simple, it’s just a signed statement
✔️ Your airline may collect it during online check-in, in their app, or at the gate, so check with your airline before you fly
📎 We’ve put the link to the official CDC attestation form in our bio so you have it handy.
The CDC says the overall risk to the public remains low, so no need to worry. This is just one more thing to have ready before you head to the airport. 💛
