    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Traveled to Spain from USA (preferably West Coast) recently (late 2021)?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Traveled to Spain from USA (preferably West Coast) recently (late 2021)?

    Anyone have any insight on connecting through Amsterdam/Schipol? I am vaccinated and ready with my forms and QR for Spain but it looks like I will need to have a negative COVID test result to transfer planes in Amsterdam. Thoughts?

    Katharina - thank you so much for all this helpful information. I am arriving Spain on Sept. 27 so keeping a close eye on things. I am not too worried - as Doris Day says - "what will be will be". But thank you for clarifying all the rumors! :-D

    I am flying into Madrid from US on Sept. 27 - doing the Primitivo. I have been vaccinated and work in healthcare so will take all the necessary precautions to keep me and all those around me - safe. Sometimes you just gotta walk and keep walking.... Ultreia! If you see an American without a...
