Booked our flights to Alicante arriving 3rd Oct and home to UK 16 October. UK Government has said no more PCR tests on return to UK but I think this effective from end October rather than beginning Oct.  I am double vaccinated.  Am I right in thinking I still need to book the Spanish antigen test 2/3 days before I fly home and then the full PCR test 2 days after  in UK.  Looks like I am caught just before the new rules come in.

Appreciate guidance.

Pauline you need to book the day 2 test before you return to the U.K. as you have to put the order number on your passenger locator form to prove you have ordered one for when you get home. If you don’t have the confirmation of order you will be denied boarding on the flight home.
