Help!! ID check for NHS passport and flying tonight!!

[user1467117350]

Advice please!!

I only just got round to trying to sort out DH NHS covid pass last night, but the app required further ID checks where he had to record himself saying numbers. It’s been 6 hours and we haven’t got anything back and we are flying with easyJet from Gatwick at 7:30pm.

Any advice? We can download his domestic pass, but not the travel one. I have filled in the Spanish health declination and got the QR codes as you just need to enter the type of vaccine and date completed.

Do easyJet scan your nhs pass or just check you have filled in the Spanish form??

Should I send him to the GP to get sorted?

I’ve not even started the packing 😭 oh the joys of having 3 young kids, a useless husband and an overwhelming mental load.

THE COVID PASS HAS COME THROUGH!!!!!

Praise the f**king lord!

I’m going to write a list and crack on with the packing. I will be having a very large drink once we get through security later.

Good news about it coming through.
Bad news that he will now think your were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Noe get him to pack for himself and at least 1 of the kids, get a key cut and book the taxi

Yes, I am going to delegate as much as possible over to him now!

I probably won’t get him to do the packing. When I was in hospital having one of the kids the clothes he packed for me were no good. Red Lacey thong and underwired bra from years ago and a dress I wore to someone’s wedding.

Airport parking?
Printing stuff out?
Going through fridge?

What is the point of him at all?. What does he bring into your life still?. You have a deliberately incompetent husband who thinks this life admin is all your job because he is too important to do it.

Definitely booking taxi, cutting keys, changing money, charging devices.

For anyone with difficulty getting the pass, my brother said “the GP - They gave me all my online gp login details by email, and I used that to get my vaccine passport. It was much easier than the other options for id verification”

Thank God for that.

Do you normally leave everything to the last minute? Is that how you choose to do it.
I do the opposite. Plus away at stuff. I booked our flights, car parking and holiday insurance for our trip to Lisbon last week, in March. Did passenger locator forms the week before, knieinh I could only finish them of the day before. Knowing that there's always something unexpected that crops up last minute.

Don't you find it stressful?

I never used to in the past, but there is just so much else going on at the moment, house stuff/my work/husbands business/countless school emails etc - hard to keep the important things prioritised. Holiday was fairly last minute, only booked a couple of weeks ago once the rules changed as I thought it would be less stressful

I also have 4 kids and I could not go on holiday like this. I'd have been institutionalised long ago. please print out the 2 covid passes as well via the app, I've seen so many people with mobile phone issues at the airport getting stuck in the queue. Also, I'd advise not having that drink until you arrive in Ibiza, there's quite a lot of faffing at the airport on arrival too. Are any of your kids 12-15? Remember they need a PCR fit to fly test sharpish if so.

Do you still need to book day 2 tests to put on teh UK Passenger Locator form for way back?

Oh yes! Still need to do that - I think they have only just released the new list of lateral flow providers.

All kids under 7 😅

Are you my sibling? One of my pre-hospital preparations was to sort out an outfit and shoes for coming home and telling DH where it was, after my BIL turned up at the hospital to take my sister home with a dress more suitable for a formal occasion Glad you got the COVID passport sorted though, enjoy the holiday!

That's much easier then, phew, you just need to worry about you and DH.

There's a lot of judgemental people on here!! I'm deliberately leaving everything to the last minute as we need children to have a negative test result. I'm not doing the online check in and passenger locator forms until we've got those.
