Hi on return to the U.K. compulsory cpr test are required is there any company that guarantees results before you flight? I’ve heard there has been delays with results and some have had  missed flights because of this 

Many thanks

Hi Honeybee

Are you saying you wish to return to the U.K. and need a test?

If so you don’t need the more expensive PCR test; an antigen test is just fine €40

 Most private hospitals and clinics, plus some large pharmacies. I had mine at our local IMED hospital, results within 10 minutes by email 🤪🥂

Hi many thanks we live in U.K. but are hoping to visit our apartment travel at beginning of July so I was under the impression we would need the pcr test on returning to U.K.? 
however some traveling back to U.K. have had the pcr but due to a late result have not been able to return and have had to rebooked their return flight 

Thanks again Lisa

Regardless, antigen test it sufficient, as per my initial response 🤪🥂

Hi

We too are hoping to come out, but don’t drive, how close is the nearest place to get the antigen test from Formentera 

thanks

Morning Rhona

A quick Google brought this up. Might be worth considering, as you don’t drive 🤪🥂

Hi there, no too bad! We paid €40 each, very accommodating, but looking into taking out approved tests next time, will save cab and some cost!
