I've booked my first holiday as a single ladies with my two girls. Both will be 12 years plus so they will need testing. Why doesn't one company do a o late that does everything you need? Or maybe there is but I'm yet to find it! Please help x

If you're in the UK there is a list of approved testing companies here www.find-travel-test-provider.service.gov.uk/test-type

Choose one near you and get a test to travel if the country you are going to requires it, then book your day 2 tests in the UK for when you return.

Depending on where you are going it's very easy to find a place to get an antigen test on holiday, take it within 3 days of your departure and show the result certificate to your airline at check in when you're coming back to the UK.

Most companies will do a green, amber etc package which contains all the tests you need. Try Chronomics, they're quite cheap.

I wish it had been as simple as that. I don't think they want to give the wrong info and ruin your trip. So for a green list you must fill in that countries passenger destination info, so that needs a certificate of jab for where I'm going or a pcr test 72 hours before. You need a lateral flow test 2/3 day before return. I believe these can be done in resort but I don't want that stress. So we purchased with a zoom call with a nurse.
Then day 2 test for all in our return xxxx good luck and I hope this helps someone else xxxx
