Delta FlyReady, Resources for International Travel Documentation, and Regional Travel Requirements    Updated February 05, 2024

Contact tracing, international travel documentation, delta flyready sm, regional travel requirements on delta.com.

As our mutual customers begin to plan for future business or leisure travel, they often have questions regarding travel restrictions, entry requirements, required documentation or health requirements. Delta is committed to providing the information our mutual customers need to prepare for a safe and secure trip.

All passengers, regardless of citizenship, will need to consent to  Contact Tracing  . Delta will collect this information for its passengers on behalf of the CDC at check-in.    

Delta FlyReady SM  is our digital tool that helps customers verify that they’ve met their destination’s passport and visa requirements prior to travel. Delta FlyReady is currently available to customers traveling between the U.S. and select international destinations as well as for customers traveling from select international destinations to the U.S.

Customers will be able to use Delta FlyReady to complete their contact tracing information – a key entry requirement imposed by the U.S. government for travelers entering the U.S.

Delta FlyReady is accessible via MyTrips on delta.com and the FlyDelta app. In addition, customers will receive additional guidance via email and SMS prior to departure directing them to the tool. Click  here   to learn more about Delta FlyReady.

Note: Customers using Delta FlyReady should still bring paper copies of their required documentation with them on the day of travel per requirements in place at certain destinations. Delta FlyReady status is not accepted in lieu of other government-required documentation Delta FlyReady is available on Delta-operated and marketed flights. Itineraries with connections through the U.S. onto another international destination are not yet Delta FlyReady-eligible.

Additional Resources & Sources of Information

• Delta.com Travel Planning Center 
• Delta Discover Map 

Documentation and entry requirements are different for every country. Prior to travel, Delta recommends that travel professionals check the  passport, visa & health travel document requirements for each country.

A passport is required for all international travel. A passport is required to board an international flight and to enter any country. In general, a passport must be valid for at least six months after the date of entry into a foreign country. Visit the U. S. State Department's  website for information on obtaining first time passports, passport renewals, second passport issuance and extra blank pages for an existing passport. 

A travel visa is required to enter many countries. For information regarding countries that require a visa, visit TravelCentre for more information.

Advanced Passenger Information (API) 

To enhance border security, electronic transmission of passenger information through the Advanced Passenger Information (API) system has been mandated with the U.S. Aviation and Transportation Security Act. All passengers entering/departing the U.S. by air are required to have this information transmitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), allowing U.S. CBP to review all passenger data in advance of the flight's arrival. All international flights arriving and departing the U.S. are required by law to provide API data. API data is also transmitted to Customs and Immigration Officials in all other countries when required by law.

U.S. Entry/Exit Requirements for Non-U.S. Citizens

Visa Waiver Program

• The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) requires travelers to submit an online request for travel authorization via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), prior to boarding a carrier to travel by air or sea to the United States. This allows visitors from participating countries to get speedy approval for travel to the U.S. for business or pleasure for 90 days or less without first obtaining a visa. For more information, visit the travel.state.gov website .

Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for Visa Waiver Program Travelers

• For travel to or connecting through the U.S., the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires all Visa Waiver Program (VWP) nationals to obtain an electronic travel authorization prior to boarding. This authorization is known as the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA.  To begin your ESTA application now, visit the Department of Homeland Security website.
• Nationals of a Visa Waiver country may be able to submit an online request at CIBTvisas.com for travel authorization via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). This allows visitors from participating countries to get speedy approval for travel to the United States for business or pleasure for 90 days or less.
• To begin an ESTA application, visit  the  Department of Homeland Security  website.

Arrive Healthy, Leave Healthy

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention gives you comprehensive health information for specific destinations, required vaccinations, information for travelers with special needs and timely updates about other health news.

Additional information regarding entry and exit requirements for non-US citizen is available via delta.com .

Passport Requirements for Western Hemisphere Travel (WHTI)

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) requires all citizens of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda to have a passport or other accepted document that establishes the bearer’s identity and nationality to enter or depart the United States from within the Western Hemisphere.

Global Entry

Global Entry is a program developed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to expedite entry into the U.S. for low-risk, pre-screened international travelers. Upon arriving in the U.S., members proceed directly to the automated Global Entry kiosk — bypassing passport control lines and paper customs declarations.

Global Entry is now available at over 40 major U.S. airports. For a complete list of locations you can visit the Global Entry website .

A non-refundable application fee of $100 per applicant will be charged at the time of application. If approved, membership is valid for five years. Here's how the application/approval process works:

1.       Complete an application online and pay the non-refundable application fee

2.       If conditionally approved after review, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will follow up to schedule an interview at an in-airport enrollment center. Alternatively you may complete your interview on your next international arrival at selected airports. For a list of approved locations visit Global Entry on Arrival .

3.       Participate in the in-person interview during which a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer will review the application and verify identification documents and eligibility.

4.       If approved, the officer will take the member’s photo, obtain fingerprint information, and introduce the new member to the program.

For more information, visit www.globalentry.gov

Delta updates  Regional Travel Requirements   on delta.com daily, to ensure customers are aware of any restrictions in place at both the customer’s origin and destination. Delta also recommends to always check the destination state’s or country’s website for quarantine policies and exceptions. Some travelers may be exempt from these restrictions.

In addition, some countries have imposed temporary entry requirements, such as limiting entry to citizens, permanent residents, and select visa holders, or restricting to essential travel. Delta recommends that customers check directly with the embassy or immigrations office for their destination to confirm whether they are currently eligible to travel.

Timatic and IATA Travel Centre Sites

Travel Agencies should use Timatic and the  IATA Travel Centre   as a reference to answer travel-related questions such as travel restrictions and documentation, entry requirements or health and quarantine requirements, etc.

Please note:  Delta is not responsible for the accuracy of the information on either site and suggests that if customers have additional questions, they should check with the respective embassy or consulate and visa office of the country involved with their travel itinerary, for further details.

Our partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our partners .

How Delta Travel Insurance Works

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

Whether it’s a canceled flight, lost baggage or an unexpected medical emergency, these events are not only disruptive, they can also be expensive. Purchasing a travel insurance plan can help mitigate some of the cost when your plans go awry.

According to Squaremouth, a travel insurance comparison site, travelers paid an average of $6,158 for a 16-day trip over the past year. That’s a lot of money on the table if an unexpected occurrence derails your plans.

One option to minimize this loss is purchasing travel insurance, such as coverage from Delta Air Lines’ plan. Here’s what to know about Delta’s trip protection policies.

Delta travel insurance plans

Delta offers international and domestic travel insurance that is administered by Allianz Global Assistance .

Its policies provide you reimbursement for some, or all, of your covered travel purchases and emergency medical expenses in the event of a disruption or delay.

Unlike dedicated travel insurance providers that offer annual or multi-trip plans , Delta’s plan is available for single-trip coverage only. However, you can purchase coverage for multiple individuals, as long as each person is named on the travel insurance plan.

What does Delta travel insurance cover?

Delta’s travel insurance option can be a convenient way to secure travel insurance, and it provides coverage for quite a few common scenarios, such as delayed baggage, trip cancellation and medical expenses.

However, coverage levels for some benefits will vary depending on where you live.

Generally, Delta’s trip protection includes the following:

Trip cancellation and trip interruption. You’ll get the nonrefundable part of your prepaid reservation back if you need to cancel or cut your trip short unexpectedly due to a covered event. Delta’s coverage limits for trip cancellation and trip interruption are based on the limits set for the state you live in.

Emergency medical and dental protection. If you experience an emergency illness or injury while on your trip, Delta travel insurance covers up to $10,000 in medical and dental expenses you incur for a covered occurrence. 

Emergency medical transportation. You might not always be near a hospital or urgent care facility when you are injured. For example, hiking in a remote location may require an emergency helicopter ride to a hospital. In this scenario, Delta’s travel insurance offers an emergency medical transportation benefit of up to $50,000.

Travel delay. Travelers who experience a trip delay of six or more consecutive hours can receive meal and accommodation reimbursements. The maximum coverage limits depend on your state of residence. 

Lost or damaged baggage. If your baggage is lost, damaged or stolen, Delta travel insurance reimburses you up to $500 for your personal items.

Baggage delay. This protection covers you when you need to replace essential items in your baggage because your baggage was delayed for 24 hours or longer. You can submit a reimbursement claim for up to $100 per person.

Change fees. If you need to make changes to your trip itinerary for a covered reason and it results in change fees, Delta trip protection reimburses you for this fee.

Concierge. As a traveler with Delta travel insurance, you’ll receive concierge support to help make your trip less stressful. A concierge associate can help you book restaurant reservations, provide travel recommendations and more. 

24-hour hotline assistance. If you encounter an emergency and need medical, legal or travel assistance during your trip, Delta travel insurance provides around-the-clock access to an associate who can help.

What isn't covered by Delta travel insurance?

A Delta travel insurance plan includes many categories for single-trip coverage; however, certain things that impede your travel might not be covered. Below is a list of what isn't covered under Delta’s trip protection.

Losses due to known, foreseeable and expected events.

Losses due to government restrictions, travel advisories or warnings.

Losses due to personal fear of travel.

Trips canceled due to fear of COVID-19.

Although impacted trips due to COVID-19 generally aren't covered, travelers might receive temporary accommodation under Delta’s Epidemic Coverage Endorsement.

For example, if you or someone in your travel group tests positive or is diagnosed by a physician as having COVID-19, you might be eligible for some benefits, like trip cancellation reimbursement.

Delta international travel insurance cost

Plan rates for Delta trip protection vary based on the details of your trip — such as your destination and the total nonrefundable trip cost for all travelers — as well as your state of residence.

To get an accurate Delta travel insurance cost estimate for your upcoming flight with the carrier, use Delta’s trip protection quote tool online.

Delta also offers a window where you can cancel your trip protection plan and receive a full refund.

You must cancel your plan within 10 to 15 days of purchase (depending on your state). However, cancellations and refunds aren't available beyond this period or if you’ve already departed on your trip.

Is Delta trip protection worth it?

Ultimately, deciding whether Delta’s trip protection plan makes sense starts by assessing your risk tolerance.

If you purchased a nonrefundable flight ticket, reflect on how your finances would be affected if you had to cancel your trip and were unable to recoup the cost.

Conversely, consider your immediate finances and whether you have the budget to pay for Delta’s travel protection upfront.

On top of factoring in risk tolerance and costs, it’s a good idea to compare Delta’s coverage and limits against other travel insurance companies.

Although two different policies might offer baggage loss coverage, for instance, one might offer a maximum coverage of $500 while another covers up to $3,000. Likewise, emergency medical coverage can run from $10,000 up to $500,000 or more, depending on the policy.

Delta’s travel protection plan is a type of travel insurance that reimburses you for a portion of your travel expenses if you need to cancel a trip or you experience covered interruptions. It also provides other protections, like reimbursement of emergency medical expenses or lost baggage while traveling.

It can be purchased in conjunction with a Delta flight, either at the time of booking or as an add-on for existing reservations.

Delta travel insurance plans are underwritten by BCS Insurance Company or Jefferson Insurance Company, depending on the state you live in. Allianz Global Assistance is the administrator of the plans.

Yes, if you cancel within an eligible timeframe, you can receive a refund for the Delta travel insurance plan. You have 10 to 15 days after purchasing your plan (depending on your state of residence) to cancel and receive a full refund.

However, if you’ve filed a claim or have already departed on your trip, Delta’s trip protection can’t be canceled and is nonrefundable.

Before purchasing Delta’s trip protection for your next vacation, consider the existing insurance coverage you have elsewhere.

For a domestic trip, your health insurance coverage may extend to other states. You may also receive travel insurance benefits through your credit card, which would be activated if you use that card to pay for your trip.

Although Delta’s travel insurance includes many coverage categories, you could find that its coverage maximum amounts might not be sufficient for your needs.

The peace of mind of having travel insurance can be worth it. However, it’s wise to compare travel insurance policies to find the most coverage possible at a cost that’s reasonable for your budget.

Delta ready to welcome customers as international travel to the U.S. resumes   

Effective Nov. 8, vaccinated international travelers who want to come to the U.S. can now do so, following the Biden Administration’s announcement that it will lift travel restrictions on foreign nationals that have been in place since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The reopening of international travel will allow for the reunification of thousands of families and friends from around the world who have been separated for more than 18 months, just in time for the holidays.

International travel is vital to help reverse the devastating economic impact on America’s travel and tourism industry, which was hit hard by the pandemic. It is also an essential component in recovering global trade and commerce, particularly across the Atlantic. New York-JFK to London Heathrow is the world’s most important route for business travel.

“I applaud the administration’s decision to welcome foreign nationals back to the United States beginning Nov. 8. Thanks to the remarkable scientific efforts undertaken by the administration to protect public health through world-leading vaccination programs and health safety protocols, U.S. borders can safely be reopened,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. “International air travel is essential to global economic recovery and the United States’ tourism industry. Delta people are excited to play our part in reuniting families for the holidays and reconnecting the world after more than 19 months apart.”

DELTA’S INTERNATIONAL NETWORK

While leisure travel has remained consistently high, Delta is adding more flights across the globe as demand for international and business travel returns.

PLAN YOUR TRIP |  Delta Travel Planning Center

In November, customers traveling to the U.S. from across the pond can easily connect to Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, New York-JFK, Minneapolis, Seattle and Salt Lake City with over 190 weekly nonstop flights from 16 markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Including partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, customers have even greater choice with over 430 weekly flights to the U.S.

In Latin America, Delta has nearly fully restored service to all its pre-COVID markets in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. The airline is operating approximately 80 daily flights from 39 markets to Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York-JFK, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Minneapolis.

Customers traveling from across the Pacific have choice of 37 weekly flights from Shanghai, Nagoya, Tokyo-Haneda, Seoul-Incheon and Sydney to Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and Seattle.

VACCINE AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Foreign nationals will be permitted to enter the U.S. with proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of departure. Vaccinated U.S. citizens returning from abroad will also be required to submit a negative test result from a test within three days of departure, a policy already in place. Any unvaccinated U.S. citizens must test within one day of departure and purchase a test to take after arrival.

Delta’s new health credential solution,  Delta FlyReady , takes the guesswork out of meeting health requirements and syncs to customers’ itineraries to make travel more convenient. Delta FlyReady already makes it possible for most customers traveling to the U.S. to upload a negative test result prior to travel and will in the coming weeks enable the uploading of vaccination credentials as well. Customers traveling from the U.S. to many countries that require proof of vaccination and a negative test already have the option to leverage Delta FlyReady to upload both results, and that functionality continues to expand to additional exit-U.S. routes.
