Relieved to hear there was some flexibility in attempting to test and get negative results within 72 hours.
As to why they were allowed on the plane without having valid test, I didn't think airlines were required to meet requirements of the countries they were to fly to. Actually that 72 hour crap is just that crap. I could test negative and contract COVID the very next day. Better safety for a country would be testing upon arrival.
Airlines are fully aware of whats required. Their is an IATA database they gives them all the info. If they transport someone to a different country and they are refused entry due to not having the right documentation, not only due they have to fly that passenger back at their own cost, they are also fined by the refusing country.
