If your test is scheduled with a commercial lab that caters to COVID travel screening, the 24 hours is guaranteed. I did mine at such a lab (not on west coast), and I got my result within guaranteed timeline. I submitted my test on Sunday afternoon, and I received pre-approval 30 minutes later. Depending on your flight arrangement, if both stops are on the same itinerary, you probably would need SXM pre-approval to board the first leg. Maybe a bit more time buffer before your first leg would be helpful, just in case.

This whole testing within given time parameters is becoming a nightmare for some of us.
In our case, I don’t know if it’s because of it being a holiday week and some labs closing for non-essential tests; the congested area we live in combined with the up-tick in cases; or perhaps because of the huge number of travelers right now but getting appointments and getting the results back quickly is driving me crazy.
The only thing that keeps me hoping our trip will happen as planned is that we are on the East Coast and worse case scenario, we could reschedule and travel the next day, if necessary. Thank goodness there are flights available.
Good luck for you West Coasters - I truly hope all goes well for you.
Respectfully,

TY. So do we but so far it has been a freakin’ mess. I can’t believe the doctors office called me on Friday and cancelled my Monday (today) appointment and then called me today to ask why we didn’t keep our virtual pre-Covid test appointments for this morning and asked if we were still planning on keeping the actual Covid test this afternoon. Apparently one hand (department) doesn’t have a clue as to what the other departments are doing. No communication at all. I hope and pray it will all work out for tomorrow and this will all be but another thing to laugh about down the road.

Pat--don't get me started with regard to the topic of doctor's offices! Hopefully everything will work out great!
