How about we just get a government issued verification card similar to a drivers license, or better yet the verification can be linked to ones TSA pre-check account?

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? You're okay with having to present your papers however you don't like the method that they're presented? That's where you make the stand?

I'm so disappointed that you and every American who is okay with surrendering health information to private companies on governmental request or company request is okay with it. That just shows you how far we've come and how far we've slid. All the people that fought for our freedom and the revolutionary war would have blood in their eyes knowing this. We aren't asked to die on a battlefield All we have to do is take a stand over stupid stuff like this and we pansie out and justify it. Accepting his requirements is wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

A customer may be required by a local destination to have proof of a COVID-19 immunization. American will confirm the customer has documents required by their destination’s local government before they board the plane.

This will ensure there are no falsified vaccine credentials on any AA flights.

As AA is based in Texas, it follows Texas law.

As countries continue to set standards for COVID-19 vaccination requirements, VeriFLY will integrate those standards into its verification processes.

So, I guess this is the beginning.......

This is starting to remind me of something I learned in history class --- vee must show das papers, or off to das showers!!!

Guess that is why they don't like history being taught.

Vaccine Cards are important but Voter ID isn't???

Bar code on the back of your neck. That way we can pass through a scanner and needed "verifications" would show and no more paper stuff.

If you want to travel and there is a vaccination requirement at your destination the carrier is usually required to verify that you have had your shots before boarding you. It has been this way for decades. It only became a political issue when people politicized an infectious disease when COVID19 assaulted humanity. It is not difficult, if you want to travel to “E” and they require a vaccination for for COVID19, yellow fever or whatever; get the shot & show the proof, or don’t go. With every freedom come a responsibility. If you want the freedom to travel, you are responsible for meeting the host’s requirements.

Unconstitutional. Let the lawsuits begin.

Funny, they are not stopping all the illegal aliens for a vac card to enter the US or get on a bus or plane as they are being distributed to 48 states. Credible reports are they are not being tested and have 10 times the number of positive cases.

Are you a constitutional law expert? (Like a former POTUS)

I think it will be up to the SCOTUS to determine if such a policy violates the 4th amendment.

[J1ceasar]

Yes you can upload your report card, but it's not legally required for travel in the US, the important word is travel in the US, however, is still required for many countries outside of the US. PS did you know the government as a master health file on you whether you've gotten vaccinated or not? It's true.

[james.grigg@yahoo.com]

Astron, you are absolutely correct. AA does NOT require it.period! There is no requirement by AA. This is how screwed up we’ve become. Look at the comments on this topic — Really? This would be National News by ALL the networks if even hinted at by airlines.

I keep my vaccine card in my passport, and I keep that in my suitcase. It’s no harder to lose a passport than to lose a vaccine card. I never fly without my passport, so I never fly without my vaccine card. Proof of vaccination should be required to ride on public transport, especially planes and cruise ships, and at sporting events. Just as an ID should be required in order to vote or fly.

If you were a Member of the Unique Travel Club you could skip the crowds and never fly with Strangers again! No more long hours spent in crowded Terminals checking in luggage, going through TSA security screening, waiting to board, waiting to pick up luggage, having to catch a connecting flight or having your connecting flight canceled. You could park close to the Plane, enter thru a Private Entrance, hand any luggage you may have to the Pilot, Board the Plane and depart in minutes. Instead of the long drive to Orlando you could fly out of the Leesburg Airport just minutes away from The Villages.
