American Airlines Will Offer $129 At-Home COVID-19 Tests through its partner, LetsGetChecked, starting December 9, 2020, for AA flights that are on December 12, 2020 or later.
Previously, AA only offered tests for passengers bound for select international destinations and Hawaii; the LetsGetChecked at-home coronavirus test is available to all AA passengers.
American Airlines' LetsGetChecked RT-PCR test requires a nasal swab sample, although the site is at pains to point out that it's not invasive and is taken from the nostril area, similar to using a cotton swab to clean the inside of a nostril, unlike the more uncomfortable and invasive typical PCR tests. It's not a saliva test, unlike the Vault Health PCR test.
