Hi Sue

Unless you can find somewhere that is open over the weekend, it’ll have to be Monday. Friday will be too early as the test has to be within 72 hours of flying 🤪🥂

Angebadge, you are absolutely correct. And it is something that we all need to keep in mind when booking flights and very often overlooked, almost done it myself. I must admit we have always had the results the same day as the test, but better to be sure.

IMED in Torrevieja are doing the tests daily just now. No appointment necessary although the online booking is easy. Go straight to the front on the right hand side. Otherwise join the queue. It’s well organised and doesn’t take too long to get seen..
