Nope, they won't let you on the plane without test results and permission from the gov't.

Thanks Elaine. I guess my next question would be, if we can't get on the plane without the proper negative test, why would there be close to 1000 passengers tested at the airport?? We have seen a few comments regarding wrong tests and no tests, but being tested on arrival. Just trying to figure out what the true rules are.

Why don’t you contact the airline and find out what their policy/ requirements are for the SXM flight?

I would guess that most of the 1000 had a negative test but the wrong one. I don't think the airlines care which test was done

I would start by looking here: ENTRY REQUIREMENTS. Things can change much more often than weekly, I would monitor it on a daily basis. I would also check with your airline like others have stated. My personal opinion of all the testing done at the airport is some of it is $$$, along with either the wrong test, no test or workers not understanding what may or may not be required.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but can all of this documentation be provided on my phone, or do I need to print anything out? With the time crunch, it would be helpful if digital copies work in case a result or approval comes later than expected.

I would go to the website link I provided a few posts back and check there. There is an application process and the uploading of the test result is just part of it.
From the site: 6. The original result of this test must be uploaded as soon as possible as part of the health authorization application procedure in order to be processed. Processing takes 6-8 hours. The test result should clearly specify the name of the laboratory, test subject name, test date, type of test administered and how the test sample was obtained. Typed, written or e-mail statements from doctors or non-laboratories will not be accepted.

dvesc--If at ALL possible, you should take with you paper copies of your approval and negative test result.

A LOT can and will likely change between now and December. Good luck.
