Proof of vaccination is still required, its just the pre-departure testing thats been eradicated:

I have my COVID passports saved to my phone, so is the Verifly App still a specific requirement.................. or is my COVID passport sufficient?

Why is nothing easy anymore? :-)

I dont think you need it necessarily, it will just mean without it you cant check in online etc. You'll need a manual document check at the airport, which given the line chaos currently, I think you should be avoiding..

HotJambalya is correct, VeriFLY is not compulsory (and never was), its certainly advised though and does allow online checkin etc. unless you like long queues and time wasting, plus if you don't use VeriFLY you'll need to complete a manual attestation rather than the one within the app.

Thank you both.
All makes sense now.
I'm a self confessed technophobe so avoid these things where I can.

VeriFly is downloaded and everything seems simple enough to manage.

I'm off the the US later in July and whilst both my wife and I are double vaxxed (so no issues with Vax pass/VeriFLY) my sons aren't as they're under the age limit for US entry (11 and 17).

Will I be able to check them in online/VeriFLY or will we also face a doc check at airport (urgh)?

Thanks for any advice so I can plan accordingly.
