I heard you need to have proof of vaxx to enter the US by air as a non-resident/non-citizen. I thought this can't be true given that we can fly freely inside the country without a test or mask. Anyone know if this is true? Are there hidden exceptions (like negative test)?

Did the airline ask you before boarding or US Customs asked you on arrival? What did you have to show them?

Custom don’t check anything. All you need is to get past airline check

They check on checkin at origin, nothing at customs in FL or TX

Yes, airline. when I boarded the plane in Sydney they asked for proof of vaccine at checkin. And when I flew in from Mexico, I had to send proof via the Delta app before I could do the checkin.

It's enforced by the airlines themselves. You have to show your proof of vaccine when you check-in To add insult to injury, you also have to show your negative Covid test result taken within last 24 hours International travel last couple years has been an enormous drag ☹️

Yep airlines usually check for proof of double vax when you’re checking in

The only reason there is not a check at the border is because the airlines have promised to do it on departure (on threat of fines if they fail to do so correctly).
