Pre-trip report!

Got our ID Now rapid PCR test at Walgreens on 11:55AM. Results were in our inboxes 30 minutes later. Submitted test results and vaccine cards to EHAS and I was absolutely shocked to receive pre-approval within 2 minutes. We're going tomorrow to get a second "backup" test in case of flight troubles.

Now we can go back to worrying about just the normal things like weather, connections, and maintenance issues. Hoping for a smooth day Saturday.

We have Walgreen's appointments for this afternoon, IDNow. Flying out of EWR on Sat. @ 0820. I hope ours go as smoothly as yours did.

Be sure to bring hard copies of test report.

We have ID Now appointments at Walgreens at 11:15am tomorrow. Flying out of DFW Saturday at 8:35. I am glad to hear of your quick turnaround from Walgreens and EHAS. I am a little worried about testing so late but doing so in the event of flight delays. I hope our experience is the same as yours.

We had appointments at Walgreens today at 3:15, we got tested at 3:25, received results in 31 minutes. After dinner we took our time filling out EHAS form, submitted it and got pre-approval in 8 minutes. So we're good to go; be there Sat. 7/17.

Print paperwork out for return flight! Have a great time!!

Arrival day went off without any real issues. PVD-CLT-SXM all delay free. From landing to taxi was about an hour. The line was long but moved fast enough. They had folks going through the line stamping papers in addition to I think 9 booths. Only travel issue we had was the AA agent not finding “pcr” on the ID Now lab report. I’m sure she would have worked it out, but I showed our backup tests which clearly said pcr on them and we were on our way. Happy to be in sunny St Maarten!

Now you can exhale and enjoy your vacation!!!

We had a similar experience. Our United out of EWR landed just before Jet Blue. We landed at 12:55, got our rental from Unity and were in Orient Village by 2:30. Club F was full (6 couples). Chloe & Thierry had a nice Happy Hour with delicious food. Traffic was very light.

Could you please tell me how the results came to you? When we went in the spring we got a regular PCR test from an urgent care and it was sent to a lab (Lab Cor) who in turn sent the results to us and we were able to download it in the PDF format. Since I am told Walgreens processes it in house, how are the test results sent? Thank You in advance.

We used Walgreens and received the results via email within an hour or so…..

Walgreens does process the ID Now in store, but the results are “read” by a third party company that provides the pdf lab report.

Thanks again.
