Veri Fly- American Airlines App- Uploading Docs for entry to Spain

I've never done Verifly for my AA flights to Spain—just shown the QR and my CDC vaccine card upon checking in at the airport. (and passport, of course).

I haven't had any problems finding or getting the QR code in the SpTH app, nor have I heard of anyone with that issue.

Departing Europe on AA verify does speed things up. By 2 minutes—maybe 3.

Hello! I have used both apps, and flown on AA to Spain twice, so I'm quite familiar with your question!

The most important thing is -- Verifly and SpTH (Spain Travel Health) are two different apps.

• Verifly is an app that you can use when checking in with American Airlines. It is not mandatory but speeds up your time checking in, because if you successfully get a QR code with Verifly, it assures the check-in agent that you have all the documents needed for Spain. If you can't for some reason get it to work -- don't worry. You will just show the airport agent all your documents anyway. Verifly is not just for Spain -- AA uses it for a variety of other destinations as well.
• The SpTH app is a Spain-specific app that generates a different QR code. It is mandatory to fill out an SpTH form (either via the app, or via the web form) and generate the QR code. You will have to show it when you land in Spain (probably between passport control and baggage claim) and the airline will also ask to see it at check in, most likely. For this app, I do recommend taking a screenshot of the QR code once it's generated so you can use it as a backup in case it doesn't load for some reason.

Summary is -- SpTH is mandatory (either via the app or online); Verifly is different and optional and may speed up your time at the airport. They are not interchangeable.

Let me know if you have any questions!

With VeriFLY, complete the information on the device you’ll have with you at the airport since it is device dependent. I made the mistake of filling it out on my tablet and couldn’t bring it up on my phone. Therefore, my documents got hand checked at the airport. Completing VeriFLY will allow you to check in online, otherwise you’ll need to check in at the airport.

With the Spanish travel health form, when I tried using the app, it kept changing the dates, so I used the website to fill it out and it worked fine. The QR code arrives almost instantaneously in an email. I saved the pdf to “Books” on my iPhone, took a screenshot of it, and also printed it. I uploaded it to the airline and it was accepted right away. The SpTH form can be completed within 72 hours of arrival.

First, I did NOT use Verifly for my trip to Spain in March. However when I got to DFW, there was a separate shorter check in line for those HAD uploaded everything to Verifly. So it would have saved me some time there. However, I have no idea if that is the case everywhere or not.

We used Verifly for our return flight from Dublin. Some 30 minutes or so after uploading the test results we received the emails that we were ready to fly. And -voila- I was able to check us in online and get issued our boarding passes. Entered airport the next day and went straight through to security and onward, no need to check-in at desks.

Sure, jump through everybody’s flaming hoops, i.e., Verifly, SPTH, bring your CDC card, etc. Because let’s face it, if you don’t they will ask for it. But if you’re a good boy like me and did everything and got a test (in my case for Portugal), absolutely nothing will be asked of you. Neither Portugal nor Spain nor the airlines wanted to see ANYTHING? It’s pure Theatre and we’re the actors. I don’t mean to sound bitter, but that’s the reality.

I do not know about entering any of those places, as I have not done so nor intend to, but until CDC changes its mandate you are not entering the US without your negative test having been seen. And if it is successfully loaded through Verify and passed on to AA, then they have indeed SEEN it, and thus are able to issue your boarding pass online. Otherwise it will physically be checked in some form (QR code, printout, email, pdf...) at the airport counter before you can get that pass.

Verifly... our CDC Vaccine Certificates do not have QR codes, they are not Digital Vaccine Certificates. So, the option is to submit CDC card for Manual Review, $ 9 for one or $ 14 for two.
Check in fees....
