Did anyone get any good deals on covid test packages?

[Plantsandwine]

We are (hoepfully) going to go to Majorca soon. From my understanding I need a test 48 before my flight out (I have only had one vaccine), another test before I fly back to England, and another on day 2. Did anyone get all these tests on an offer? How much did you pay? Who did you use? Thank you.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes 😅

Whatever you do, don't use Dante Labs. They're absolute scammers!!!!

We used RCT for day 2 which was £44. It’s on the government list. They didn’t check up on whether we even did it though…
The test to come back you need to do in Majorca where they recommend.
The test going out needs to be done by someone reliable, I recommend Boots

I'm Spanish and in Spain right now. Don't forget to check each test you do to fly TO Spain, includes your passport numbers and full name/DOB data. As well as the specificity and sensitivity (all labs will include these), but really it's the passport/ID no. and data that they can be funny about. They do random checks and I know of friends, and have seen several fellow travellers turned around when their tests didn't have all the required information on them. Enjoy the holiday!

@Notthissticky thank you, I will avoid them.
@User125547 thanks for your help. So for the pre-departure test to fly back to England, we would just find a provider when we get there rather than pre book it?

Atruchecks have appalling customer service . Boots have been fab and very prompt.

If you haven't already booked if you book with TUI they do cheap test packages based on if the destination is green or amber. We're going to Majorca and are fully vaccinated so got the green package which is £20pp and includes the test to return back to the uk and the day 2 pcr which I thought is really good value.

We have to get the teens tested so are doing LAMP tests at heathrow for £80pp.

We are also looking for a test to do prior to return to UK.
We aren't flying with Tui. Are there tests you take with you to test while in the resort?

You need to book a licensed testing centre out there that will provide you with a certificate you can present when you get back to the UK. Simply google 'covid test' and the town/city you're staying in, you should find some options. Or ask your hotel or villa owners as they will most likely have some information about what's available in the area.

Or for the pre return test you can book a video consultation with Collinson's at £42 where they send you a LF test in advance - but 20% discount available if you use the Easyjet code on their site.

Thanks. We will look at these options.
