Yahoo, we are getting closer to our October Italy trip and looking into flights from US. My question is: if we have to change planes in another country(say England or Germany or Denmark) on our way to Italy, will we have to go thru Covid testing in that country also?
Thanks!

I think the answer may be “It depends”, lol
Right now, none of those countries requires a Covid test from vaxxed travelers from the US nor does Italy require travelers from the US or any of those 3 countries to have a Covid test. That may or may not still be the case in October.
I like the Sherpa travel site for figuring out restrictions between countries.

Right now, no, I do not think any countries require a covid test for transfer passengers, but yeah, in the height of the pandemic, a number of countries did. For diseases, October is a number of lifetimes away. The safest would be to fly direct, but being honest, if things get bad again, that might be the least of your worries. At this point, I just book the best route and do not worry about testing and covid requirements.

With the mounting pressure from the travel industry; my sense is there's a good chance the US will drop pre-departure tests for vaccinated travellers soon. But who knows?!
