Apple Maps is stepping up the TSA–style for the next travel wave
If you’re as excited as I am about finally ditching travel‑ban for good, you’ll love this new Apple Maps feature. It taps into the Airports Council International’s (ACI) database to give you the low‑down on COVID‑related rules right when you look up an airport.
What the app will show
- Face‑covering requirement – The app will let you know if you need a mask. Let’s face it – most places still expect one.
- Test certificate – It tells you whether you need a current COVID‑test result to board.
- Quarantine rules – If the airport has any stay‑home mandates, you’ll see it here.
So next time you snag a flight slot, just open Apple Maps on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, type in the airport name, and you’ll get a quick snapshot of what’s required before you even step foot in the terminal.
Just another step toward making travel feel a bit less “post‑pandemic” and a lot less nerve‑wracking.
