In an attempt to minimize travelers’ concern with contracting coronavirus during a flight, United Airlines has implemented free rapid tests before boarding flights.

“We believe the ability to provide fast, same-day COVID-19 testing will play a vital role in safely reopening travel around the world and navigating quarantines and travel restrictions, particularly to key international destinations like London,” said Toby Enqvist, chief customer officer for United.

“Through this pilot program, we’ll guarantee that everyone onboard has tested negative for COVID-19, adding another element to our layered approach to safety. United will continue to lead on testing, while at the same time exploring new solutions that contribute to the safest travel experience possible.”

On Monday, all passengers and crew members on United flight 14 from Newark Liberty International Airport to London’s Heathrow participated in the COVID-19 testing pilot program. The test was given to every person over 2 years old to make sure that everyone tested negative before departure.

The airlines plan to continue to use the test on passengers traveling on United Flight 14, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the next few weeks. Flyers who book these flights will be given the option to confirm their trial participation or be put on another flight.

Customers who decided to take the test will be given information before the flight to select a testing appointment hours before the plane departs.

Like United, Hawaiian Airlines has also implemented COVID-19 testing for travelers. However, the airlines’ test is drive-through and is given in “select U.S. mainland gateways to guests to bypass the state of Hawaii’s quarantine.” The cost for such a test within 36 hours is $90, or $150 for day-of-travel express service.

Last month, Hawaiian Airlines extended the service to include at-home. American Airlines has also offered COVID testing for certain destinations.
