Hi TonyMac did you put your airplane seat number in?

You can start completing the questionnaire at any time. You can even start a second time if you made a mistake that you then cannot correct. And as you can see from the previous post, if all fails you can fill out a paper form. The system is fairly forgiving ...Question. Can you create your account early then fill out the questionnaire within 48 hrs of our flight or do you create and complete questionnaire within 48 hrs?
Thank you! I have downloaded the app and the radar covid app as well.You can start completing the questionnaire at any time. You can even start a second time if you made a mistake that you then cannot correct. And as you can see from the previous post, if all fails you can fill out a paper form. The system is fairly forgiving ...
The website says that you must have the QR code before you board your flight for Spain and that the air or sea transport companies must inform you of the obligation to present the QR code generated by Spain Travel Health before boarding and the consequences of non-compliance or falsification. But contrary to this, they apparently even let you fill in the paper form after arrival at Madrid but this is only possible as long as only a few passengers fall into this category. If everyone did it, it would take a lot longer for everyone to pass through the health check stations at Madrid airport.
Exactly. Once I hit the 48 hour mark, I could complete and submit. Then got my code in email within minutes.We are in the same situation - also arrive next Wednesday in Madrid. My understanding is that Spain is supposed to send the QR Code within 48 hours of departure.
I do not have a seat number with American Airlines, I think because I purchased a basic economy flight. My status under “my trips” is listed as unfinished. Do I wait until I get a seat number 48 hours before my trip to get my QR code?Hi TonyMac did you put your airplane seat number in?

So you did not complete the questionnaire earlier than your 48 hrs? I thought I could create the account than go back in to fill information. Thanks!Exactly. Once I hit the 48 hour mark, I could complete and submit. Then got my code in email within minutes.
I was thinking that the system would send you an email to let you know it is time to complete your questionnaire. The Hawaii app does this.So you did not complete the questionnaire earlier than your 48 hrs? I thought I could create the account than go back in to fill information. Thanks!

I arrived in Paris,France on Sun. They didn't ask to see any of the codes or declaration letters that are posted on the France National website. They never even sent me their QR code. They only wanted my passport and my vaccination card. Now that I'm here there's been no problem going to restaurants or the Louvre. They either ask for nothing or my vaccination card and a mask. I suspect Spain will be similar.I'm arriving in Madrid Wed morning but have not received my Spanish QR code for the SpTH app. I'm fully vaccinated and have my US vaccine card.

Spain is different from France. In Spain, you need the QR code for which you had applied only in the airport.I suspect Spain will be similar.
About an hour ago, I purchased a seat on American for the first leg of my trip, which is Cincinnati to Chicago, however I could not purchase for my flight Chicago to Madrid because it was on Iberia. Would that first seat number get me a QR CODE now?In the SpTH app, below is a screenshot of the last step. You need to click on the button before Select to confirm and then on the button at the very bottom that says Get QR. If you haven't filled in your seat number yet, the app will tell you that you have to do this first. From the description of those who have been waiting for a QR code it is not clear whether they ever reached this last stage of the application. IOW, it is not sufficient to just enter your seat number which has to be done in an earlier step, you actually then have to click/save and continue repeatedly until this last step.

Erm ... the details that you have to enter into the SpTH application are the details for the last leg of the trip, ie the flight number and seat number of the flight to Spain.Would that first seat number get me a QR CODE now?
So sorry for my lack of understanding but I think you’re saying that Iberia has to give me a seat number for my flight to Spain which I am told is not available right now before I can request a QR code onSpTH. Thanks for replying so promptly.Erm ... the details that you have to enter into the SpTH application are the details for the last leg of the trip, ie the flight number and seat number of the flight to Spain.
The app doesn't check these numbers.
I apologise for my unclear answer. You are right: You enter your seat number for the Iberia flight and then you request the QR code by pressing the "Save and continue" button. And you will get the QR code immediately.So sorry for my lack of understanding but I think you’re saying that Iberia has to give me a seat number for my flight to Spain which I am told is not available right now before I can request a QR code onSpTH.

I didn't purchase ahead, also basic economy.at some point in check in you are assigned a seat.then it goes quick.no, i didn't get in the app ahead. I had some trouble finding my qr code on my phone.although I knew I had it!About an hour ago, I purchased a seat on American for the first leg of my trip, which is Cincinnati to Chicago, however I could not purchase for my flight Chicago to Madrid because it was on Iberia.

You can only apply for the code 48 hours before departure. I was asked for the code multiple times before leaving the states. Then again upon entering Spain via Madrid.We are in the same situation - also arrive next Wednesday in Madrid. My understanding is that Spain is supposed to send the QR Code within 48 hours of departure.
Just for general info: there is a difference between the QR codes for arrivals from the USA and from the UAE.I was asked for it on arrival in Madrid along with either my PCR result or vaccine certificate ( I was arriving from the UAE) but either was fine - I showed my PCR result and went straight through- I had both
Hi TonyMac,Happy to share I landed in Madrid today without a QR code. Just before the passport station, people without QR codes were directed to tables to complete paper version of the SpTH app. Was asked if I was vaccinated, the agent initialed the form and I went through passport and Covid check points wo problems. Hope others have similar good luck !
I just flew into Barcelona from Toronto. I was asked for the QR Code at the Toronto airport at check in. In Barcelona there were also tables to fill out the forms.Hi TonyMac,
which country did you fly from? Were you asked to show a QR code at the departure point? Thanks.
@Kathar1naIf you don't receive this QR code within minutes of thinking that you have completed the application, you need to check your steps again. You left something out.
