US travel restrictions on arrivals - does this apply to stopovers?
I see that there is a Presidential Proclamation that restricts aliens from entering the United States if they have been physically present in Ireland (along with some other countries) any time over the past 14 days. Now, I am looking at a flight to the US that has a technical stopover in Dublin, where I do not have to deplane. I know even transiting through an airport is restricted, but what about this situation?
The airline has told me that a stopover is not an issue and that they have had passengers who have entered the US with no issue. However, I guess I am just paranoid and do not want to be sent back at the border.
Best Answer
As no passengers can board the plane in Ireland, the stop there should not impact whether you can enter the USA.
So you should be able to trust the airline and go with their advice.
