Alison Fox is reporting for Travel and Leisure travelers may soon be able to fly between New York and London with a shortened quarantine period as part of a plan to open up travel between the two cities as soon as the holidays. Airline customers would likely be required to get tested for COVID-19 before their flight, The Wall Street Journal reported. The plan is part of an effort of the U.S. Department of Transportation and Department of Homeland Security, among others, to make international travel possible. While nothing has yet been finalized, a Homeland Security official said that agency was in the early stages of creating a way to “safely encourage trans-Atlantic travel while mitigating public-health risks.” Part of the discussion concerns the length of quarantine: transportation officials and an airline trade group support a 24-hour isolation period, while others are arguing for a four to seven-day quarantine. The U.S. has been in discussions with German officials, as well. The UK currently has travel corridors open with several dozen countries and territories, including many in Europe and several in Asia, that remove the self-isolation requirement for incoming passengers. Visitors from the U.S., however, must currently self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. Read the full story at travelandleisure [dot] com.
