I suppose this is more a WWYD?
DH and I booked our honeymoon for next week a year ago. Due to the travel restrictions lifting slightly we are not due to a refund if we cancel and rescheduling costs an admin fee greater than the cost of 2 tests each.
We are happy to go and have isolated to ensure we are fine for the past month! However, I am starting to worry.
Our destination requires a negative PCR Covid test within 96 hours of departure. We have paid £150 each for a Covid test which we will do Monday (the earliest time for it to go to a lab within the 96 hours). But I have heard horror stories of people’s tests not getting back in time. The company does guarantee a 24 hour response and reviews are positive.
A) Would you just do this test, hope to receive in 24 hours and if not, do another at a potentially greater cost last minute in the hope of getting a test done to allow travel.
B) do the test, if it doesn’t come back in time then nevermind. Our insurance won’t cover Covid now and the money is lost (£3k)
C) pay another £300 for 2 tests and so each do 2, each with a different company, in the hope that at least one test comes back? But potentially waste £300 for anxiety reasons.
We are looking forward to this so there’s also that element.
