From travel agent Karen Kumm:
✈️ NEW CDC TRAVEL REQUIREMENT – EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 3, 2026! 🌎
Planning an international trip? Here's an important travel update from Journeys by Karen!
Beginning November 3, 2026, travelers flying into the United States from ANY foreign country will be required to complete a brief CDC travel attestation before boarding their flight home.
✅ Who does this apply to?
ALL international air travelers entering the U.S., including:
U.S. citizens
Green Card holders
International visitors
Travelers returning from Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, and other international destinations
📋 Why the new requirement?
The CDC is monitoring Ebola concerns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The attestation asks whether you've traveled to or been in the DRC within the past 21 days.
🛫 What do you need to do?
Your airline will provide instructions for completing the attestation, either electronically or on paper, before boarding your flight to the U.S.
Good news! You do not need to print or complete anything before leaving home. Simply follow your airline's instructions when returning to the United States.
💡 Karen's Travel Tip: Even if your travels have nothing to do with Africa, this requirement still applies when flying home from an international destination.
At Journeys by Karen, I believe informed travelers are better-prepared travelers! I'll continue sharing important travel updates to help make your adventures as smooth and stress-free as possible.
