Pre-departure LFT

[Luckyelephant1]

Hi, we are going to France via Eurostar this month and I'm a bit confused about the pre-departure LFT that needs to be taken within 72 hours. I know we can't use the free NHS ones but my company sent us some non-NHS ones a while ago. Would I be able to use one of those? We are all sorted for the Day 2 test on return.

I don’t think so. You need to get a certificate. We booked some (for return, but it turns out the certificate is non-specific about which direction you’re travelling) from Collinson using an EasyJet discount code - they cost £23 (and have a very friendly online chat function with a real person if you think you’ve made a mistake in your address )

Yes it’s a scam lining the pockets of Johnson’s mates, but the only other option is to stay at home.
