Pre-Flight COVID-19 Tests Offered in Houston

United announced today it is expanding its customer COVID-19 testing efforts to include flights out of Houston to select destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Starting December 7, 2020, United customers in Houston will have the option to take a self-collected, mail-in SARS-CoV-2 virus test that meets local entry requirements.

"Widespread testing is key to unlocking international borders and safely reopening global travel," said Toby Enqvist, chief customer officer for United, in a press statement issued on November 23, 2020. "United was the first to offer free tests on flights across the Atlantic – and we'll look at new, innovative ways to make the travel experience even safer."
