Hi. I was looking earlier for flights to Alicante, seen on my google news feed Easy Jet are doing pre covid lab tests the cheapest booking I've found is with Randox health the tests cost £60. I'm hoping to book flights in the next month travelling in July with Easy Jet & use the booking system with Randox for 7 pre covid tests, Now waiting on UK government traffic light travel system to be put in place. Hoping Spain is on the green list.

Here is the official link, you must select one of these as they provide specific information for your personal locator form.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/providers-of-day-2-and-day-8-coronavirus-testing-for-international-arrivals

I travel for work and have used 3 different companies on the list now. There really is no difference in terms of service supplied. 

The cheapest is nationwide pathology at £159. I used them this trip and they were quick.

All the best

Darren

Hi, I used screen4.org who are on the government approved List. The cost was £170 but very easy and efficient service. Both tests were waiting for me when I arrived home with clear instructions how to use. Just do the tests and pop in the post. Results came back very quic

Sorry  Aitch how would you assume that ,she has done nothing for the aviation industry in Scotland and also she wants quarantine hotels full with travellers from any country ,although on a different  note I think she will   be happy  this morning with Labour's performance in local elections  in England  ,Johnson is not popular in Scotland and I think another term of Johnson may be enough to persuade  Scottish voters to vote to leave the union if another referendum takes place ,its always been obvious to me that England and Scotland  vote for different parties ,ps I'm not a fan of hers

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Your take on Johnson and the effect of Tory success on Scotland is correct, though who be a popular conservative UK leader in Scotland? 

   I'm not sure that Johnson will survive the next few months given the issues with his finances (assuming they are valid).
