We will be traveling to Hawaii in july 20, we made an appointment through the safe travel, whoever they are partners with, it’ll be in Long Beach on july 17, it’ll be 4 of us, but hubby is asking if Walgreens was accepted too when you did it

[@marinelldyer3286]

@@JenniferTran we will be also going to then Ontario airport

[@JenniferTran]

@@marinelldyer3286 hi at the time of my travel Walgreens was accepted as a trusted partner and the test was free. I am not sure if that has changed since so many new restrictions occur daily. If the testing facility you are using is listed on the safe travels website then you should be good to go. If you guys are flying from Ontario and parking on site you can book reservations for parking online it is very easy and you can choose which lot you would like to park in. I never park in premium parking lot because it cost a lot and the lots right next to them are cheaper. It’s literally a fence that separates the 2 lots so to save money I recommend not using the premium parking lots you can use lot 2 or 4 😊

COVID NAAT/PCR Test but I believe things have changed for those who are vaccinated. For more up to date details I’d recommend visiting the website travel.hawaii.gov/#/exceptions

No a screenshot will not be allowed we saw many people try with this method and were told that they need to log into the safe travels portal and show the QR code from there. You have to have your test results in a PDF form then upload that to your account. I hope this information helps 😊

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Michelle I appreciate you watching and glad I can be of help. For your flight back home to CA no testing is required since Hawaii is in the US it would be considered a domestic flight within the US so for the state of California no testing is required to reenter. I alway recommend checking the CDC website before your travels to ensure you are following the current travel Restrictions

My situation is even more frustrating...we fly the first leg out of ATL at 1:30pm on Saturday...then fly out of LAX at 6:50pm Saturday...so, does that mean I can't test before 6:50pm Wednesday ATL time, or LA time? My gut says LA time, which is frustrating bc there's no way we'll get a test appointment at 9:50pm in ATL...and with kids in school all day with finals Thursday, we won't be able to get a test until after 2 on Thursday. That's cutting it super close for my taste. Ugh.

Hi Desiree you will have to base the testing time off the 6:50pm pst flight since it’s the final flight into Hawaii. We got all 3 test we took back within 48 hours.

This is my question are all the airlines doing this let's say if I go to Colorado would I have to do that 72-hour test before I leave

Hello Ray, the 72 hour COVID testing is a requirement by the state of Hawaii. It doesn’t matter where you are flying domestic or international getting a COVID test 72 hours prior to your flight into Hawaii is required. Some airlines offer testing but most of them don’t. If you choose not to take the test your other option would be a mandatory 10 self quarantine once you arrive in Hawaii. I hope this information helps you with planning your trip.

I agree it’s just not the same anymore. For Hawaii we did not have to take a test to come back to California because it’s still within the United States. This may change in the future or for other countries but for now domestic travels from Hawaii do not require a test to come back to California

Hi Jennifer, thanks for making this video. May I please ask what time was your flight since they are very strict with the 72 hours, I would like to know if your flight was at 8am? I remembered you took the covid test 4-1-21 at 9am and 9:45am so I am thinking your flight was 4-4-21 earlier to be on the 72 time frame? I am just confused if they are counting 72 hours before your flight or when you reached Hawaii. TIA.

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Allyn my flight was at 8AM Sunday April 4 so I was able to take the test anytime after 8AM to be within the 72 hour window. The 72 hours is based on your flight time not arrival time so for example if your flight is at 8AM then you would use 8AM (departing time) and take the test within 72 hours of the departing time. I took my test at 9am because that’s when Kaiser opened , I am not sure what time Walgreens opens we just took that test as a backup to ensure one test would come back on time. I know the timing is very confusing, I myself called my airline and the state of Hawaii to confirm the testing time. Both were very resourceful so if you are still unsure I advise calling your airline to confirm. I hope this helps, let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Thanks for watching 😊

Hi Jennifer, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We, the family of 7, will be going to Hawaii on May 18th. I bought the tickets before realize about the required test which I'm still very confuse and worry. I have few questions hope you can help clear things up a little 1. Our flight starts from TX and connect at LAX which wil leave to HNL at 6:50PM on May 18th. Ideally, we should take the test on May 15th to meet the 72 hrs window. However, 6:50PM PST is 8:50PM CST. At this time, all the testing facilities are closed. so can I take the test on May 16th at 9AM when they open? I plan to take the test at the nearby Walgreens though, so I'm not sure in your case how long did you get the result back from WG? 2. do we need to create the safe travel account for each member of the family separately or I can create 1 account and add the rest of the members under the same account? 3. My daughter is under 15 yrs old, is there any different travel requirement for kid under 18 as far as testing go?

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Hanh your trip is right around the corner! How exciting 😊 I know with these travel Restrictions it makes the flying process very confusing so I’ll answer your questions to the best of my knowledge. I hope it helps and if you need just visit the state website linked in the description box of this video. You will be able to find all this information online. 1. Based on the information about your departing flight from LAX you would go off the 6:50pm PST time for the COVID testing. I am not sure how this will work for you since the testing centers are closed at that time. To be safe I would advise calling your airline or the state of Hawaii to confirm exactly what date/time you should take the test. I called my airline and the state they both were very helpful. I would say yes you are able to take the test on May 16 first thing in the morning but just double check. Walgreens test results came back within 48 hours (took the test at 10am and received results next day at 5pm) their website does say the results can take up to 72 hours to get results so it would range anywhere between 24-72 hours for results to come back. 2. You are able to create one Safe Travels account for your family as along as all members being added are under 18 years old. Anyone over 18 will need their own. For each member you are adding to your account they will need to be listed individually so the COVID test, and health questionnaire will need to be for each member. You will all share the same account though. For anyone over 18 they need to set up their own even though they are apart of your family. 3. There are no travel Restrictions or anything different for this age group.they need to have the same type of testing done as you. Best of luck to you and enjoy your family trip 😊

Hi There. You can test anywhere as long as the testing time is within 72 hours from your departing flight into Hawaii. So for you since your final flight into Hawaii is from SD you will have to take the test according to SD time zone .

Hi Marlene you would need to take your test may 22 anytime after 8:15am. The time is based on your flight time and time zone not Hawaii time. I know the times are super confusing I had to call my airline to confirm just to be sure. As long as it’s 72 from your flight time and it’s the final leg of your flight so if you have a connecting flight you use your flight time from the last flight into Hawaii but if you have a non stop flight from LAX you use that flight time. What airline are you taking? Some offer testing for free and at LAX. Some airlines also with conduct the clearance at the airport too so you don’t have deal with the paperwork when you land in Hawaii. Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

@@JenniferTran i have nonstop flight. Im using American Airlines. For the walgreens test, its the pcr right? And also i cant seem to make appointment now 🥺 is it only 3 days prior to be able to make an appointment for covid test ?

[@JenniferTran]

@@marleneagatha ok good it’s a non stop flight so it makes the timing a bit easier. since you have a non stop flight then use the 8:15am time for the 72 hour test. I don’t believe American is offering testing at LAX but things can always change from now until May so keep checking the website weekly to be up to date. As for Walgreens, correct the test you need is called The PCR test. All the others ones listed on the website will not be accepted by the state of Hawaii. Walgreens doesn’t allow scheduling test that far in advance so I would recommend making your appointment closer to your travel date.

I have a nonstop flight 6/3 at 8:15 am. Should I take my test anytime after 5/31 at 8:15 am? Also, do you know any information on CVS testing? If the results come back on time? Thank you.

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Ethan correct anytime on the 31st after 8:15am will put you within 72 hours of flight departing time. I do not have any info on CVS as we took our test at Walgreens.

[@nickpop23]

Thanks Jennifer. Just a quick question: Did you do Rapid test or PCR test at Walgreens? How much time it took in hours for results?

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Nick you have to get the PCR please refer back to the state of Hawaii travel website it is linked in the description of the video. You have to follow the guidelines and only take the required test any other test will not be accepted by the state of Hawaii. We got our results back within 48 hours. Delivery times vary you can check with the Walgreens you are taking the test at for more information. I hope this helps 😊

(We are traveling in October) 2.once you create the account can you log in and log out as much as you want? 3.can we print the QR codes and present them that way at the airport clearance? I am sorry if is too much, I am really nervous 😊

It will be within 72 hours before our departure time here in SD?

Awesome! Thanks for the support and you are correct the COVID test is based on the time zone in which your flight is departing from. So for you it would be SD time 😊

How long did it take for safe travels to review your results and exempt you from quarantine?

They exempt it within minutes of uploading. I am not sure if we got lucky or if that is the standard time. To be sure call the state of Hawaii with any questions in regards to upload time 😀

There is no requirement for a covid 19 passport. All you need is a negative test and follow all the instructions in the safe travels website.

It’s 72 hours from your departing flight into Hawaii so if you have a non stop you will base your test time from the departing flight. If you have a connecting flight you will use the departing time from your final flight into Hawaii

How did you get your Kaiser results in PDF? I submitted a request but they said it takes 5 days.. I fly in 24 hours Also... does walgreens give you results in pdf? The safe travels app also asks for hawaii form and some other one... im confused 😫

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Mayra for my Kaiser app since I only have a mobile device what I did was open up the results in Safari and change your Mobile view to desktop view. From there on the iPhone just cluck print and then select print to PDF and it will generate a PDF format. Save that PDF to your phone and then upload to the safe travels app. If you were on a PC simply click on the results select file print and then change your print from paper to PDF and save it to your PC and upload to the safe travels website I know that sounds really confusing so let me know if you still need help with that I’d be happy to walk you through it. My Walgreen‘s results did come in a PDF form so I just clicked on it and saved it to my iPhone then upload it to the safe travels website. The form they are referring to is on the safe travels website it’s the second icon called health questionnaire all you have to do is answer the questions and you are done

[@jackychen1523]

Thanks for the video. I have a question. The requirement is that 'The test has to be taken 72 hours from the final leg of departure'. What does the final leg mean? If I take flight from New York, and have the connect flight at San Francisco then flight to Honolulu, does it mean I won't have any issue? Or it should not have any connecting flight? Thanks

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Jacky. Test sample collection date can be a bit confusing. As long as the collection date is no earlier than 72 hours before departure on the final leg to Hawaii you are good to go. If you have a non stop flight then base this time on your departing time. For connecting flights use the departing time of your final flight to Hawaii. In your case this would be your flight time from San Francisco and not New York. It’s whatever flight you take to Hawaii. Hope this helps 😊

[@ccc5217]

Hi!! Can you clarify - you took your COVID-19 test from Kaiser and received it at 12am.. so in less than 24 hours? Thanks so much for this info

[@JenniferTran]

Hello yes that is correct less than 24 hours, we took the test right when Kaiser opened on Thursday morning and I received the test back on Friday at 12:05 AM . Kaiser does not guarantee results back in 24 hours they say anywhere between 24 to 72 however with my experience I was able to get it back fairly quickly.

[@JenniferTran]

@@leelaylieu1239 hi yes Kaiser allows you make an appointment so when you call to make your appointment they will order the test then on the day you go it should be a drive up appointment (it was like that at the Baldwin park location) you just check in with a guard and then he or she will direct you to the designated area. You pull up they verify you and do the test right there in your car it’s very easy. Call the appointments line to confirm I know that feeling of second guessing yourself that was me days before our trip lol

Hi yes per the Hawaii safe travels website it indicates 24 hours before flight. I think as long as it’s within 24 hours you will be fine but I would just try to do it 24 hours before to be safe you don’t want to risk not being approved for screening

Hi Jennifer! I've been watching all of your Hawaii vlogs and I am actually going next week with my friends! I had a question about Kaiser Permanente's COVID test booking- did you make an appointment just through your Kaiser account through the Kaiser website/app to book just a normal COVID swab? Or were you able to find a specific link to book an appointment for traveling? I've been having a hard time with Kaiser and booking an appointment specifically for traveling! Not sure if it is just a regular one.

[@JenniferTran]

Hi Kim I had the same issue when trying toame an appointment so I just called the appointment line told them I needed a test they scheduled for me. They need to put in an order for the test. On the day of your appointment you just drive up and it’s very easy. Give them a call and they should be able to help you 😊
