$129 For A Pre-Flight COVID Test? Why They May Not Do Much

American Airlines is offering at-home COVID testing for travelers in the US, aiming to boost confidence and remove travel obstacles. The test, priced at $129, involves a seven-step process. While not perfect, it represents a step forward in preflight testing. The initiative faces challenges, including consumer compliance and logistical issues. Airlines may require proof of vaccination or a negative test in the future. Currently, testing is limited to certain locations, with plans for expansion. The hope is for rapid testing at airports, unless vaccines become widely available.
