Expansion of the areas covered by the ANA Traveler’s PCR testing service for returning to Japan!
~ Now available in Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey ~

ANA X Inc. (Representative Director and President: Shinichi Inoue, headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has expanded the PCR testing service already rolled out in Hawaii to Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey in the United States, and commenced sales from September 1 (Wednesday) of a local testing and test certificate issuing service.

Currently, it is necessary for all customers to submit proof of a negative PCR test conducted within 72 hours before departure (the time from the collection of the sample to the departure time for the flight the customer plans to board) when returning to Japan.

In addition to the local PCR test and issuance of a test certificate, we provide a plan with a private car transfer by a Japanese-speaking driver (between the hotel where the customer is staying and the test site), which can only be used by customers who have applied for this service. Both can be paid for using miles.

By all means please utilize this service when travelling to Los Angeles or New York. Going forward, we will continue to gradually expand partnership services offering PCR testing overseas in order to meet the needs of our customers.

■ Service overview

• A local PCR test and issuance of the test certificate prescribed by the government of Japan
• A plan with a private car transfer by a Japanese-speaking driver (between the hotel where the customer is staying and the test site) is provided only to customers who have applied for the test plan * A separate application from the test plan is necessary.
• Payment with miles is possible
