Got the paranoid head on - heading the the US next week. Aren't I correct in thinking I don't need to provide proof of vaccination etc, or upload any docs ahead of time? I ask because I see a link to FlyReady when I log in to my booking ...

correct. no requirements to show anything / complete any forms etc etc

Thanks for the speedy reply

Not strictly true as you do still have to complete the contact tracing form for all US arrivals.

From this page:

US Covid-19 rule change for foreign nationals

Foreign nationals arriving to the USA by air on or after 12 May 2023 are no longer required to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination or complete passenger attestation. Contact tracing information is still mandatory.

This form is available to complete <72hrs before departure online via FlyReady hence why the FlyReady link is still there for all US flight bookings.

Hadn’t realised there was still a requirement to provide contact tracing, so thanks for that info James. While writing - am I right in thinking ESTAs are valid right until their expiry date? No requirement to have a couple of months’ validity beyond the date you leave the US?

Your ESTA just needs to be valid on your US entry date and can even expire during your stay.
