Nah, all planes are just going to be routed through a non-European destination en route back. The Azores are about to be very popular.

The Azores is part of Portugal, which is on the travel ban list.

The ban is on the Schengen area, which does include the Azores.

  I live on an island. There are all sorts of weird legal things that play out on these bits of rock. I suspect that there are all sorts of lawyers reading interesting bits of definitions of treaties and history right now.

It's about whether you've been to Europe at all in the 14 days preceding, not about whether your immediate origin was European.

  And for Schengen, you'll have a stamp in and out (assuming 1 passport).
  - hectormalot 7y ago
    No Schengen stamps if you already live in the Schengen area. Unless there is data sharing the US gov wouldn’t be able to see it from a passport. I suppose it will be another question on the form. Next to ‘I am not a terrorist’

  Turkey is also erecting public event suspension (trade fairs and large ceremonies cancelled by today), so not going to work.

The Azores are in Europe.

They don't need to be routed through a non-European destination. Crew are exempt. The airlines will just deny boarding to people subject to the ban (which is non-exempt people who have been in Schengen in the last 14 days, not people who just came from there).

It's not a flight ban it's based on the physical presence of the traveller
