Hello Everyone,
Please excuse the off topic nature of my post but I need accurate information as soon as possible and I am sure someone on this Forum knows the correct answer. I am getting ready to travel from the United States to Zimbabwe. I know there are those who think this is dangerous and selfish. But please understand that this trip is necessary.
Getting there is relatively easy. I can fly on Ethiopian Airlines nonstop from Chicago to Addis Ababa where I connect for a nonstop flight to Victoria Falls. I have checked with the Ethiopian government, and I am allowed to transit through Bole international airport in Addis Ababa without a recent Covid-19 test, visa, or a yellow fever immunization as long as I stay on the secure side of the airport.
Getting back to the United States presents a problem. The first leg is Victoria Falls to Addis Ababa which is not concern. But the second leg requires that I fly Ethiopian Airlines from Addis Ababa to Dublin, Ireland, where I must change planes before flying to Chicago. I am worried that an American without a current Covid-19 test will not be allowed to transit through Dublin's airport.
Does anyone know the current situation? Theoretically, I will be transiting through Dublin around November 20th.
Again, this trip is necessary. It is not a vacation. As such, I am hoping that this thread does not devolve into a debate about whether I should be making the trip or not during a worldwide pandemic. I am simply looking for information regarding the ability for an American citizen to transit through Dublin airport without a current Covid-19 test (it is unlikely that I can get a test done in Victoria Falls right before I leave, and even if I could, it would two days old when I hit Dublin). Any knowledgeable responses would be greatly appreciated.
Private messages are fine if you do not want to post on this thread. Thank you in advance.
Robert
