When did it change to “has to be PCR test”, to fly to UK  LFT tests are fine according to Gov site ?

Correct as per my cut snd paste from the UK comedians (sorry Gov) web site. We arrived Friday and return to the UK this coming Thursday and are taking a lateral flow test for re-entry, if it’s wrong then first I show them what’s on the Gov site and then fight my way out….. keep an eye on the BBC news guys 🤣

Hi, Does anyone know if you pay for an antigen tests anywhere in Chirivel to get a certificate to allow you to fly back to the UK. 

A negative antigen test is the current requirement for flying to the U.K. €25 each locally. We pay cash and make prior appointment. 15 mins after the test you get your result.

Being vaccinated makes no difference at present to being able to fly to the UK unless your jabs were in the UK. That may change in a few weeks once the UK certification system gets up to speed with the EU one so if can recognise it.

A PCR test is not required, antigen test (€25 locally) is accepted.
