Event: The U.S. Embassy advises Americans in Trinidad and Tobago who wish to return to the United States that seats remain available on a charter flight scheduled to depart Port of Spain for Miami on Wednesday, April 1 at noon. Tickets may be purchased by calling the booking agency directly at +1 (603) 929 9300 or by sending an e-mail to ClientServices@PJSGroup.com. Please note: as this is a charter flight, the cost of a ticket will be substantially higher than typical commercial fares.
We encourage anyone wishing to return to the United States to take advantage of this flight option. The U.S. Embassy does not know when regularly scheduled commercial flights to the United States will resume. At this time there are no other flights being scheduled to the United States or elsewhere.
There are no quarantine measures in place at the initial port of entry at Miami International Airport. Travelers will be able to continue their travel plans from Miami and may be asked to self quarantine for 14 days after reaching their final destination. Please note that the embassy cannot arrange connecting flights in the United States.
Travelers are reminded that you must have valid travel documents to board this flight. Please check that you have a valid U.S. passport or valid foreign passport and U.S. Legal Permanent Resident card (green card). If you need assistance with emergency documentation please contact the embassy immediately at PortofSpainUSCitizen@state.gov or call 622-6371.
Note that if you are experiencing any symptoms such as fever, coughing, sneezing or shortness of breath you will not be allowed to board the flight. Please do not come to the airport if you have any of these symptoms.
