the end of June.</span> <span data-start-time='121521' data-end-time='132458'>It is still unclear where and how exactly travelers in the EU will have their vaccine documents checked since there are no borders. </span> <span data-start-time='132458' data-end-time='138396'>Officials in Brussels say that question will be decided by each country.</span> <span data-start-time='138396'

CommonPass are only available to travelers on airlines that are using them.</span> <span data-start-time='209313' data-end-time='218813'>Both can be used with airline travel apps, so users can show
