What happens if I don’t take a test and want to travel to the US?
Air passengers traveling to the US are required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery. Airlines must confirm the negative test result or documentation of recovery for all passengers before boarding. If a passenger chooses not to provide a test result or documentation of recovery, the airline must deny boarding to the passenger.What happens if I test positive?
People should self-isolate and delay their travel if symptoms develop or a pre-departure test result is positive until they have recovered from COVID-19. Airlines must refuse to board anyone who does not provide a negative test result for COVID-19 or documentation of recovery.What is a verifiable test result?
A verifiable test result must be in the form of written documentation (paper or electronic copy) of a laboratory test result. Testing must be performed using a viral test (NAAT or antigen), and negative results must be provided to the airline prior to boarding. The test result documentation must include information that identifies the person, a specimen collection date and the type of test. A negative test result must show test was done within the 3 days before the flight. A positive test result must show the test was done within the 3 months before the flight.What kind of documentation of my test result do I need to provide?
CDC requires that air passengers arriving in the US have a paper or electronic copy of their test result for review by the airline before you board and for potential review by public health officials after you arrive in the US.

I'd like to know where exactly clowns like this stay ?
Bogus tests, high prices
"It was a bit stressful when we were down there," Warren told CBC News via FaceTime from his home outside Ottawa, where he is waiting out his 14-day quarantine.Warren said that when news emerged of the new COVID-19 testing rule, he started to see local people taking advantage of the situation by selling fake tests on the beach for about $3 to $5 US.
"I guess word on the street was that this was very profitable," he said. "So they were telling their friends, and you saw people all over the beach with ... laptops.
"There was no testing done. So basically it was a template, a PDF file that had where you just gave them your name and that was it. They would email it to you."
He said he eventually found legitimate tests at a clinic — but the prices fluctuated.
"So they started off, I don't know the exact number, but it was around $1,000 and we got it down to $79. And he said he was giving us a deal because there was four of us," said Warren.
"We got lucky there. The people that went before us actually ended up spending $1,500 and they didn't know that they were able to negotiate the price."
Warren and his kids received their negative test results just hours before their flight home departed. Others haven't been so fortunate.
They might as well be selling him GOLD chains like thy did in new york in the 80's
2 more flights left on air transat to Toronto from PP, except for those flights you can't book until May on that route.
West Jet stil has booking allowed but who knows if they will stop as well?
yup from TO the 18th and 25 are the last ones to POP. Looks like Montreal will go from 2 flights a week to one at POP.
Several months ago WestJet cancelled my Wife's flight to Holgiun, Cuba.....
Without any notice they had cancelled all the flights to Holguin for the rest of the Winter.
Presently WestJet is showing one day (Saturday) a week for flight to POP for January. They are showing flights 6 days a week for February.
There is NO WAY WestJet is going to flight fly that many times in February.... They just want you to book a flight with them.
When they cancel your flight (and they will), you will (if your lucky) be offered a seat on the one day a week they still fly.
Most likely they will just cancel your flight and keep your money, as a credit, for a future flight.

Not a real confidence booster 5 extra days extension...
Well.... It may not be good news, but at least they are (finally) being truthful.
Well all the airlines where playing cancel culture....west jet was most honest of them f that’s possible..every month by 15 th if cancellation where to happen that’s when...other airline kept selling even on cancelled day or didn’t inform clients flights canceled..
WHAT SCAMJET WAS THE MOST HONEST . LOL . I love sunday morning humor. Scamjet is still holding onto the cash and doesn't plan on starting refunds before the end of the year. Keep this to COVID entry and re-entry only , leave the comedy to professionals
Hey Lou all the Canadian airlines!! It’s not a joke it’s sad, Canadian gov said no bail out money for airlines unless they payback people , you just happen to be at the WestJet end ..
I have a report that y'day's WestJet just was quite full
Bookings will dictate the number of flights...... bums in seats
