I believe the way forward for International travel is for Carriers,Governments and major departure points to cooperate and develop a protocol which meets the following requirements

1.Testing which is fast reliable and not cost prohibitive

2.Fit to travel certification

3.3.Vacination certification

As systems and technology evolve and adapt to the new world reality,then all the above should become the norm

Maybe their is a marvelous market opportunity opening up for a return to your local high st.for the return of travel agencies in a new form to cater for the new realities of International travel

Katie, that's very helpful, thanks. Good luck with your flights on the 26th. We fly 7th Jan so a few days after New Year to get out test.

Most welcome!

Enjoy your trip and thanks.


more info for others that may be of interest:

Hotel Sofitel at terminal 5 Heathrow are offering a rest and test package where you stay the night before a flight - do a test- they lab them overnight and results are ready for you the day of your flight. Quite reasonably priced too when I looked.

Lots of useful information. 

Trying to summarize it all;

  • Companies where you turn up in person: Boots, available in various places; https://www.boots.com/resource/blob/2559216/558d596f8a3782273ef48c6e4c6788b9/covid-19-testing-service-store-list-pdf-data.pdf

    And where to i refer to

    New World Order

    You think that things will ever go back to normal

    Well then

    1.Commercial passenger aircraft industry

    Has Not Received 1 single order or intent to purchase since Febuary

    2.Not 1 cruise liner has been ordered either

    Both industries and their suppliers etc

    Employ world wide over 20 million workers

    And that is only these 2 industries

    The next similar corona virus awaits. Just around the corner

    Far less the ever increasing frequency and ferocity of climate change

    It most certainly not a new World order as you insuate

    But quite simply a New and terrible reality

    So either adapt and survive

    Or all efforts put into return to what many believe is normality and Perish

    Cause and effect

    No cause shall ever arise that no matter what does not have a resultant effect

    And no effect can ever arise that has no cause

    With regards epidemics and climate change

    The causes have already occured

    So what we witness now are the beginning of the effects 

    And such are only the very beginnings

    The word I’m thinking of begins with B eight letters and ends in S ...

    Absolute non sense, go see a doctor and get some help, all doom and gloom.

    Utter rubbish.     And so on.
