When should I book my appointment?
This depends on the service you choose. Our standard service requires tests to be taken at least 2-3 days before the flight departure.
Although we have calculated the process to complete within two working days, we advise you to book your appointment three days in advance if possible.
Do I require a ‘Fit to Fly Letter’ with COVID-19 testing?
Please check with your travel agent and the airline. It is also a good idea to look for the latest travel advisory by the government about your destination country on the FCO (Foreign & Commonwealth Office) website.
You may want to get tested for your own peace of mind pre-travel so that you know you have done everything in your control to avoid infecting others on your journey.
