Zihuatanejo Airport Will Offer Covid Antigen Tests for USA Departures

Starting on January 26, 2021, the Zihuatanejo airport will be one of 11 national airports to offer to travelers flying to the USA the option to have the Covid-19 antigen test taken (for a fee) at the airport prior to checking in.

The test results will be ready in 30 minutes. The result can be given electronically through the app “Verifly” or as a printed document. You will need to present the results at check-in, and will need to be presented upon entry into the USA as well. The cost will be $579 pesos. PAYMENT: CREDIT CARD ONLY- Visa/MasterCard! CASH WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS ONLY FOR PASSENGERS FLYING TO THE USA. PASSENGERS TRAVELING TO CANADA REQUIRE A PCR TEST THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

It is suggested that passengers hoping to take the Covid-19 antigen test at the airport arrive no later than 3 hours prior to departure in anticipation of lines for test administration.

Passengers still may choose to have Covid-19 tests taken prior to arriving at the airport, as long as the test was taken within 72 hours of departure time.

IF YOU HAVE HAD COVID WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS: You must present documentation of recovery (proof of a recent positive viral test as well as a letter from your healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

Please also remember that all passengers arriving to the USA must self-quarantine for 7 days after travel.
