'go straight to the ticket counter'?? Or do you mean, straight to security? Did you get boarding passes before you got to the airport or did you still have to stand in line to check in, even with it?? When we left SXM the first week in October, the line was such that we almost kept walking up to the ticket counter, although we did have to stop for a few seconds while they looked to see that we had our Covid tests.

OK, I do wonder whether part of it was that there were no lines in general. When we left SXM in October, we were sitting at the bar in approximately 20 minutes from when we arrived at the airport, and we definitely did not do that.

Hi Carol, We breezed through the entire process. We didn't have printed copies of our covid tests, which concerned us. It didn't matter, because the Verifly Pass on your phone meets all the requirements. At no point were we ever asked for our covid test results or our attestation form. The Verifly rendered all that unnecessary. I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised! Did you get your boarding passes on your phone, or did you have to get them at the counter?

GaKaye, No, we checked bags and got our boarding passes at the counter.
Carol, it was a Saturday, so there were lines, but we had priority boarding on American.
For me, the point is using Verifly saves you from the process of having your documents examined at the airport. No shuffling through papers or swiping through different screens on your phone. Have your Verifly app open to the Verifly "pass" that shows your pic with the check mark. One quick glance and the document checkers wave you on.

My understanding is VeriFLY is only used on the return to the US. I did not use it as the rating on the app were 1.5 outa 5

Well, after all my protestations, I broke down and set Verifly up on my phone. I plan to use it at PJIA tomorrow. What with the attestation, vax card, and test result, it makes sense to have it digitally in one place. However, not the easiest app to use.

Yes, I knew it was a really long one, but they all seem to fly by! Looking forward to hearing more about it.
