Hi Everyone,
Can't find much info on this anywhere. Flying to Mexico in a few weeks with a 2 hour layover in Houston, just wondering if we are required to do a PCR test for the stopover?
Mexico clearly has no testing requirements but wanted to check if we need to test as the US still requires negative tests, usually countries don't ask for this but as the USA requires visa waivers for transit I figured they may ask for a negative test before boarding also.
Thanks
I'm sure the airline is going to require it, as you'll "clear in" to the US for even just the transit.
Can be antigen - doest have to be PCR. Within 1 day of your departure, so at any time the day before you leave the UK.
The Sherpa website is great to help figure out COVID logistics. They do pretty good job keeping it up to date.

A note that IAH is enormous and since there is no international transit concept in the US, the flight to Mexico could depart from anywhere mixed in with domestic departures.
You should have a map of the C, D, E concourses and where the international arrival dump is. You may have to hurry.
