American Airlines is expanding its pre-flight Covid-19 testing program with new self-administered and more in-person testing options to make travel easier and safer for its customers.

Customers can now order an Abbott BinaxNOW Home Test through telehealth provider eMed.

These 15-minute, self-administered tests are supervised virtually by an eMed Certified Guide 72 hours before a customer’s return to the United States. eMed is a CDC-accepted administrator of rapid antigen tests that can be taken abroad and receive electronic documentation for re-entry to the United States with a negative test result.
