The one run by Express test near costa in Gatwick North arrivals. Thinking of booking it for a teen antigen test. Anyone done it?

I've used express test at Birmingham airport. They were pretty busy both times. The second time we had the final half hour slot of the day and they had to start fast-tracking the people having antigen tests because for some reason they needed to be done before 19:30. That was a bit stressful...

I've used Qured a few times now and they've been excellent. They send you the test, you do it and send them a photo of the test result next to the passport m, then they send you a fit to fly certificate in the post. £25.

We used the Express at Heathrow, very efficient, in and out in about 15 minutes (there were 4 of us). All very friendly and well-organised, would definitely use them again.

Qured is a bit to slow. Express is meant to be only 40 mins which is part of the appeal.

I appreciate the experiences. How long before check in did you book your tests? Were they actually only 40 mins?

I've used them twice and the certificates were emailed in 40 minutes. It wasn't much less than that though, but neither time was I departing straight away so it didn't really matter to me.
