Difficulty in being tested to enter from one European country to another?

We fly to France in August and then a week later into Germany. Assume we will be able to be tested at airports, but do not have a clue as to procedure. Is testing readily available at major airports? How do we find test areas since we only read and speak English? Our travel person assumes it is simple!! Concerned! Any specific help on subject appreciated. Thank you!

No testing is required between EU countries.

The US still requires a test a day before you fly to the United States. Will you be in Germany for that flight?

It should be easy to find info on how to do this on the airport's website. And it should have a section in English most likely. FOr example, if you were flying out of Frankfurt, this is it.

https://www.frankfurt-airport.com/en...e-airport.html

or go to info on COVID19 on this page under travel, flights and transfers if that doesn't show up

www.frankfurt-airport.com/content/fraport-travel/en/flights-and-transfer/


Do not request a test for antibodies as they suggest, that is worthless and serves no purpose, at least not to determine if you actively have COVID and it is not what you need for travel/re-rentry.

They want you to make an appt to do that, also.

Testing to get back to tge US.

We brought the BinaxNOW kits with us and that worked well. I think they have two kits for about $20.

We just flew to Germany, traveled through Austria to Italy and then returned to Germany. The only Covid test we needed was the day before our flight back to the US.

We were in Munich and there were quite a few testing sites around the city and at no charge. We got our results by email and uploaded them to the airlines and were able to check in with no problems.

To enter France from a Green country, you must either be fully vaccinated (basic series plus a mRNA booster) or provide a negative Covid test.

Basically, travelling within the Schengen zone, no one checks.
