Covid test

[tahm 19]

What if my covid test is within the 72 hours time limit before my departure to the U.S but it expires mid flight before I arrive in the U.S. (direct flight to the U.S) Is there a problem if that happens?

Don't worry, nobody cares once you are on the plane.

For travel to the US, the standard is that you must be tested at any time in the 3 calendar days preceding the date of departure.   So for example if you had a sample taken Tuesday morning you could use the test result to depart Friday night.  Once you make it on the flight, the requirement is fulfilled so it doesn't matter if the test "expires" mid flight.
