For those that have traveled to SXM with testing protocol.
We plan to travel to SXM mid November. We will make every effort to have our negative covid test in hand. However, in our small town test results are not alway quick to get back. The Health Unit here will only say "We expect the results within 5 business days".
Can we fill in the EHAS form without having our test results back? Will we be approved subject to the test? We don't have a problem with paying the fee and being tested on arrival in SXM. Its a little complicated as it's a two day trip for us from Northern Canada. Just trying to determine if there is a way to make it work.
Here's our plan.
Flight to SXM - Thursday morning out of Toronto
Take the Covid test Monday morning, 4 days prior to flight
Fill in EHAS application form Wednesday. Not likely to have results yet
Travel to Toronto Wednesday, one day prior to flight to SXM
Will monitor email right up until flight time for test results, but if we don't have them, will we be able to fly to SXM and test at the airport?
I know things can change weekly but just trying to determine if we should make the attempt.
Appreciate any input based on your experience.
The other issue is, we are not sure what protocols Westjet may have with regards to boarding an SXM flight without the test results in hand. (Westjet isn't scheduled to fly to SXM until November 5th)
