Why only some?

They would have to bundle it with free rescheduling of the flight (especially given how many false positives)

I have had to cancel Honolulu twice. April & September. I give up. Heading to South Beach Miami in 11 Days & doing Dallas in December. Hawaii is to complex. Maybe late 2021.

are they going to charge $999 per test ?

HOW ABOUT A LOW COST WAY TO GET AROUND THE JONE$$$ ACT?

$250, sounds reasonable

I never understood the appeal of Hawaii when the Caribbean is closer and less expensive.

Smart! I like it. Could open up travel across the board. Rapid travel testing. 👍

When United say 'some passengers' do they actually mean those in First Class ?

So what is my recourse if it is a false positive and I miss my flight? The sooner United goes under the better.
