Ok....So here is one for you all....We are going to UK for a wedding etc next month, and I am so confused with the day 2....day 5 quick release....day 8 (expensive!) tests....I am clear on everything else but what I need to know is if we bought the day 2 and quick release day 5 tests...Do we need to also have a day 8 test as we will have already been released back into the wild so to speak!.

At the moment you still have to pay for day 8 even though you pay for day 5 release. So yes 3 tests on top of antigen test you need to do in Spain before you get on the plane.

It just seems a little mad to me that we will be able to go out....therefore able to spread the disease after 5 days....then on the eighth day they test you again!!!!! Also you can buy just test day 2 kits.....so confused....Just hoped I could find something legal to confirm this....but no luck so far!

Yes Ryanair have sent us a link for cheap tests, and with their usual efficiency they have sent us ...'From the UK to the Algarve and return'.....We fly to UK from Alicante....LOL
