| It might be worthwhile to ask your airline if they are on the IATA Travelpass system where all your documents can be stored. This is not the same as the NHS App which will only be on line when the new travel regulations come into force on May 17. |
Taking a flight to a Green Country? Julian Bray, aviation expert and broadcaster comments: "Whatever you are currently budgeting, now add another £200 per person to cover a multitude of Covid19 tests. Now sit down in a darkened room as it gets complicated!"
Essentially 3 tests are currently required (but this could change).
Pre-departure (within 72 hours) a PCR test is yours for £60.
UK return: current legislation requires an LFD test before leaving your destination to return to UK, around £40.
in addition, may need to allow for a Day 2 test in the UK. £40.
Running total so far £140 approx. Per person.
IF you visit an Amber list country then the Day 8 test say £60 needs to be budgeted for.
Bear in mind that freely available NHS PCR tests may NOT be used for travel. Everyone has to pay says Boris!!
Trying to find a reliable test supplier is also a bit of a lottery, but here are a couple of websites to try out:
