Do I need COVID test result for domestic leg of Mel to Lax flight?

[Leeanda]

Hi, next week I am flying Qantas on a domestic flight out of Melbourne, that connects in Sydney to a flight to LAX. I will be getting my COVID test at Melbourne airport before I fly. Does anyone know if you need the test result back in time for the domestic Mel to Syd leg? Or do I just need it for the international leg Syd to Lax. Thanks!

Hi @Leeanda, you will need the test when you check in, hopefully at the "Domestic Connection to International" counter.

You can get a test done at MEL or you can do it the day before.

Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

Anyone know if the $50 rapid antigen test at SYD airport by Histopath is accepted for US travel? CDC says Rapid tests OK but don't want to take any chances.. anyone have any experience? It should be acceptable - I do note that Histopath are indicating a PCR test is required but the CDC website...
