I will arrive in England on the 7th October and will need to take the 2 day PCR test. Can someone please recommend me a reliable test provider.

Hi Maverick,
Randox is a well-known laboratory and has one of the higher reliability ratings. Depending on which airline you're flying with, some offer a discount code for Randox:

https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/Randox
I assume you already know that you have to purchase the test before you leave Spain and enter the reference number (not the booking number) onto your Passenger Locator Form:

Kind regards,
Kim

Many thanks for this Kim. I will actually be flying in from Norway this time and with Norwegian. The same 2 day rule applies and I will check if Norwegian has any deals.

I’ve used IMED Torrevieja, next to WOK, across from Habaneras. You can even make an appointment on line in advance (or just walk in). Fast fast fast! And results were very quick, less than 24hours, to my email (which I then printed out).

Interesting to note they charge well over double for the unvaccinated traveller, I wonder why that is?…

Hi and thanks to all who answered me. I tried Expert Medical who i understand was the cheapest ( £26 ) but no luck ordering on their website. Tried calling them but the phone went dead after the first ring. I ended up on their chat site only to be told that they had problems. ( 2 hours wasted ) so maybe I was unlucky.
Randox nearly twice the price however it was excellent and done on the net in 10 mins.

Oh that's a shame. I've never had any trouble with them. Always quick and easy and fast delivery too. Definitely the cheapest so far. Get results back quickly too.
