OLYMPIA — As the holiday travel season approaches, United Airlines announced it would be the first U.S. based airline to offer COVID-19 tests to its passengers. The cost of the test is reported at $250, providing results in 15 minutes.

Starting Oct. 15, the tests will be offered at San Francisco International Airport so passengers flying to Hawaii won’t have to undergo a two-week quarantine when they arrive. Last week, the state of Hawaii announced it would begin to allow vacationers again if they cleared a COVID test.

Other airlines are also reported to be ready to begin rolling out the rapid COVID-19 test, starting with first-class and business passengers.
