Has anyone booked to go abroad this summer?

Has anyone actually booked to go abroad this summer? If so where and what packages are you using for tests

Me. Cyprus. I haven’t booked any packages yet.

From Ireland. Leaving for a month in Croatia on Wednesday.

We have the EU covid passports. DS who is 12 needs a PCR, will be done privately on Monday.

We go “home” to Croatia (family), it doesn’t require tests for vaccinated adults, and only DS17 needs to do a rapid antigen test. Booked online, I thought we’d go in person through this one www.dam-health.com but I believe at the end DH found another one who sends the results via email in 30’. Not a major risk because the alternative is to test at a facility just outside the Croatian airport which charges around 11£…

Going to Finland and being double vaxrd I don't need any tests. Coming back I will take cheapest pcr I have found in Finland, 99 euro... I need to sort day 2 test soon.

Two trips to Greece to see family. We have booked a package with tui both times as one we know the people who have the apts and all their rooms are contracted to tui and the second is a huge place with famoly scattered everywhere so we stay centrally.

Got a reasonable price for holidays and tests are 20 quid per person for all our tests. Subsidised by TUI.

Oh and double vaccinated so don't need tests for entry

yep i'm going tomorrow

Used Randox 3 hour express at Manchester airport for the kids pre departure tests - results actually came through this morning 1.5 hours after test.

I'm booked with TUI so using their green package for an amber holiday as im vaccinated - £20 pp inc test to fly home and day 2 test so bargain

The TUI test packages are a bargain. Jet2's not so much.

Arrived back from 11 days in Majorca today. Was bliss

We've been to Greece. Got our Day 5 Test to Release this morning so out of isolation.

We're double-jabbed but took LFTs the day before we left. Tested at the airport in Greece on arrival, tested the day before we flew back. Tested Day 2 here then Day 5 yesterday. Don't think we're any risk to anyone!

We used ExpressTest as we travelled independently. Day 2 tests took over 48hours to come back but our Test to Release was less than 24 hours

We booked Orlando, flights were cancelled last week, now moved to Easter, everything crossed that borders will be open by then.

Yes to the USA, but it's "home" to see family and go to a family funeral. We all have US passports except for DH but he should hopefully be ok travelling with us as an immediate family member. We'll see...

(So far, both our outbound and inbound flights have been cancelled and rebooked at least once so I'm anticipating further shenanigans as we get closer to our departure date.)
