I am going to the uk. I have ordered my pcr test. I am fully vaccinated. I will be at my sons for one and a half days then travelling with him to Heathrow to fly to Mexico. Can I still travel to Heathrow if I haven't had my pcr result. So would this mean I wouldn't be able to go to Mexico?

Hi Jessy,

I believe you have to self isolate until you get a negative result

Hi Jessy,

It would probably worth checking with your airline whether you qualify as "transiting landside" through the UK:

Hi Jessy,

Under the 'landside' type, it says that transiting is "usually 24 hours" which suggests to me the defined period isn't exact.  If it were me, I wouldn't dismiss it without checking.

Kind regards,
