Is it possible to get a rapid anti-gen Covid test at Mexico City International Airport

score:6

Accepted answer

https://cms.volaris.com/en/travel-info/covid-19-testing-for-passengers/:

  • Two locations at Terminal 1: Entrance 5 and the Volaris office at Annex 1
  • 24/7
  • valid for the US.
  • $550 MXN

I believe no need for appointment. Maybe other airlines have other locations as well. I saw the location at Terminal 1 when I went there around New Year Eve, the queue seemed quite small but it's likely a good idea to arrive a bit earlier in case the queue long.

FYI, from this answer, which quotes CDC:

The 1-day period [for COVID-19 testing when flying to the US] is 1 day before the flight’s departure. The Order uses a 1-day time frame instead of 24 hours to provide more flexibility to the air passenger and aircraft operator. By using a 1-day window, test acceptability does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test sample was taken.

I'd advise to do the test within [24]h if possible or if not call the airline while recording the call, because some airline employees, such as some Qatar Airways employees I've encountered, can't read properly and mistakenly think [1 day = 24h], or may have their own policies.

but Mexican airlines should 100% understand the CDC 1-day guideline.
