Hi everyone, I'm travelling to the UK alone to visit family and I'm a bit scared tbh as I've never flown alone before. I need to make sure I've covered everything so I know I need to fill in the locator form and have an antigen test within 72 hours, I'm double vaccinated. How do I get the 2 and 8 day tests? and any other information I will need will be very much appreciated
Thank you
Tricia

Hi Tricia,
All the information you need is here:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england#amber-list
This site is for flying to England - there are additional links for flying to Scotland, Wales or N. Ireland. The site includes links to test kit providers and you may want to check whether the airline that you´re travelling with also recommends a provider, to compare costs. A company that several members have used recently for the Day 2 and Day 8 test is called Randox.
As well as the Antigen test before you leave Spain, you need to pre-book your Day 2 and Day 8 tests, and add the purchase reference number to the Passenger Locator Form, which you need to complete before check-in at the airport. If you want to leave self-isolation early, you can also opt to buy a Day 5 "Test to Release" test.
Kind regards,
Kim
