I need a PCR test to fly back to UK - Page 4

Just checked on the UK GOV website and a Lateral flow test is acceptable

Is there a Chemist on the Urb where I can get a test?

A Antigen test is fully acceptable to fly back to UK .

€30 from medical centre Cabo Roig results in 15 mins

I have done this Twice now and you will have no problems at all.

Have a safe trip

Please, are any of the testing places open on Sunday?

The only ne I think may be would be the Quiron Hospital just off the N332 before you get to Torrevieja (Formerly San Jaime Hospital) but I would telephone them first.) They speak english there. You´ll find the phone number on their website. Contrary to what Ian wrote about needing a PCR test, the Farmacia at El Raso told e you only need an Antigen Test at 40 euro plus t2 you must book in the UK before you fly. Everyone is flying with an Antigen test with no problems. It is accepted by the UK

I agree with what you say Leah, the Antigen test at 40 euro,s does fit the needs if done by a reputable company. We fly home on 12/07/21 and are having the Antigen test done at an Imed center. We are doing this mainly for our kids who are due out in August and can ill afford the 400 plus euro cost for them all, the 160 euro cost will be bad enough along with what the government in the UK will impose when the 19th comes along.

I have just been back to the UK for my 2nd vaccine. All I needed was a lateral flow test €40 and pay for the 2 and 8 day tests. I flew out of Alicante no problem at all.

I was in the UK for two days, had my 2nd vaccine and flew back to Alicante. I didnt do either of the 2 or 8 day tests while in the UK and now back in Spain (annoying that i still had to pay for them but however) but no problems coming back to Spain.

We got our antigen test (that's all you need to fly to UK) at quirron at Al Alicant €45 results an hour later. This was last Friday.

Going there for ours too

They are very efficient and professional and on top of that speak excellent English much better than I speak Spanish. Can also recommend the cafe near the wellbeing salon for tea and toast whilst waiting for results.

Thanks. Wondered if they had a cafe onsite
