covid test for domestic flight

[anamerty]

we are driving our car to bellingham washington from Vancouver Canada for a 4 night trip to Las Vegas.No test i required to cross and border to u.s. but would we still be classified as international and be required to have a test,although travelling domestically?

I'd defer this one to Southwest to be certain, but since you are flying a domestic flight, I don't see why you would need a COVID test.

Southwest has no idea you crossed a border to get to the airport. You are flying a domestic flight, no testing is required for the flight.

You shouldn't have any problems once you're in the US, but Canada has its own set of requirements to re-enter the country. According to Canada's travel page, it sounds like you need to be vaxxed to be exempt from testing or if you are unvaxxed there is a whole other set of procedures to follow including testing negative and even quarantine to re-enter Canada:

Unvaccinated - Entering Canada by air or at a land border crossing

Meet these requirements if you are eligible to enter Canada, and do not qualify for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption, or other special exemptions for your situation.

•  Find out if you can enter Canada
•  Assess your quarantine plan before you travel
•  Get your pre-entry molecular test result
•  Register in advance for your arrival test
•  Use ArriveCAN to submit your travel and quarantine plans
•  Have your ArriveCAN receipt, test results, and quarantine plans ready for assessment by a Border Services Officer

  Medical conditions that prevent you from being vaccinated

  Unvaccinated travellers over the age of 12 are not required to quarantine upon entering Canada if they meet the following conditions:

  • have a medical contraindication for getting a COVID-19 vaccine, and
  • comply with the public health measures outlined in the handout provided to them at the border
