@DaveD, it is not a PCR test so many countries don't accept it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They would be better sticking to dispensing prescriptions more efficiently. Currently the General Pharmaceutical Council who regulate pharmacies and pharmacists do not recommend their supply or promotion to the general public. Perhaps they are currently dicussing this with them, but I haven't got t ime to check it out at the minute. Got to go to work.

Boots will actually be offering 2 tests, both £120.
Test 1 will be results in 12 minutes, but not acceptable for pre-flight purposes.
Test 2 will be 48 hours, but WILL be acceptable for pre-flight purposes.

The quick one is probably the antigen test, which the Italians now make at the border I believe.
120 is way too much for this test though, it should be half that.

Personally I'd pay £120 extra to make sure I can get away this season!
@ajc2260626 I assume so as it's acceptable for flying purposes.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

It was the situation (not sure if it still is) that on arrival at some airports (including München) you could have the reagent test free.
Obviously it’s preferable to go after you have had a negative test, just in case, but £120 does sound a lot

I would too, though for a family of 5 it does mean £600 extra on the ski trip......
