I've tried to find out how to book online for the PCR test at Elche airport. Having managed to create an account (not with all the necessary info required) I got an activation code. Problem is I'd like to be able to update the information and Eurofins Megalab don't answer their phones! I've tried contacting them via Twitter as they have no email address either. We're just trying to minimise the risk in getting these tests done as we've had a few experiences getting them done in France last year so would like to have a stress free experience this time!

I'd explored Vueling options but reviews of those labs isn't great and sounds even more stressful. Any advice welcome thanks

Would just like to let anyone know who was planning on getting a PCR test done at Elche airport that it is currently not possible! Contacted AENA directly as couldn't make an appointment (despite registering) on Eurofins Megalab website (who are supposedly doing the tests at airport)..

Not exactly very reassuring for anyone needing a PCR test to leave Alicante!

The Antigen test at €39 is adequate for travel to the UK. We had ours done at DAM Health in Alicante city centre.
