 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,
I'm slightly concerned. I fly tomorrow morning at 8am. I sorted my tests through 'TestnGo' and after I did the antigen test and sent the photo of the test off for my certificate I looked at their reviews on tripadvisor, and they are awful (I wish I did beforehand now). I am concerned I will not receive a certificate by tomorrow morning. What will happen when I turn up at the airport with no certificate? Will they simply turn me away or is there an opportunity to pay to do one there? As you can imagine, I am stressed after doing the test 4 hours ago and have heard nothing and I fly in the morning.

Check if there's a company offering rapid lateral flow tests at the airport as a backup

I believe there is at Bristol airport, however, if they're open at ~6am is another question.

Looks like it opens at 09:30 on a Saturday. You could try a randox click and collect to be safe. Should be somewhere around Bristol that you could collect from tonight

Another recommendation for Randox Click and Collect. Certificate provided within five minutes of submitting test on Friday night.

@Bpayne01, How did you get on ???

I arrived at Lyon this morning. The only thing I showed was my passport, which got a stamp. Easy at MAN only checked passport and boarding card.

+1 for C19. Went with them following recommendations in other threads. Mine came back in under 30 minutes on Thursday. Eurotunnel on Friday, passport stamp and asked to show proof of vaccination, even though previously uploaded.

Easy should have read easyjet in my last post! I suspect the gate clerk assumed that my paperwork was checked at bag drop and the bag drop clerk thought it would be checked at the gate or didn't know where Lyon was!

Hi, thanks for the follow up
I am currently in Les Deux Alpes having an awesome time.
Thankfully the Randox health worked pretty much instantly. But, typically, I had a certificate from TestnGo too at about 4am but it was missing things such as a barcode that Randox Health had.
I didn’t even have to provide proof of negative test once. Bristol airport, only covid pass and passport and the exact same for Grenoble.

Can I process two different tests through the same Randox Certifly app - need to test me and my wife on Friday, so do we both need the app (on different phones), or can we run both tests and certificates through one ?

Through Qured...
20mins for the pre-departure antigen test
5mins(!!) for the day 2 antigen test.
I was impressed by the turnaround on the first one, but the second one was incredible!

Hi does anyone know if C19 tests are accepted in France?
|

I was going to order C19 too. I believe they are acceptable for entering France.

Apologies for the slight thread drift but I wonder if anyone has done this before & knows the answer.
We are flying EasyJet to Geneva & as EasyJet see's this as flying you to Switzerland they will only ask to see your Swiss PLF & Covid vaccine status pre flight. They will not ask to see a negative LFT as that is not required for Switzerland anymore. The only check's on landing last weekend was passport & Swiss PLF.
Question is, we are getting our hire car from the French sector, do you know if they are asking for negative LFT's as you pass through the airport to the French hire desks?

Completely acceptable we've used C19testing for four entries to France since the summer.
If you mean acceptable for their testing regime while there then no the TAC and TAC Verif apps do not recognise the QR codes

Excalibur health are another good provider of antigen & PCR tests. They provide a QR code via their app that’s accepted by EJ at check
Edit: confirmation of test results was pretty instant. Scan QR code on LFT reader thingy with a photo of result (all done at the same time) and confirmation comes back pretty quick

@MHskier, I ordered them on Tuesday and they were delivered on Wednesday.
Just did normal delivery service via Royal Mail.

Can somebody clarify the 24 hours "prior to departure" rule for the antigen tests. Does it just loosely mean "the day before" or are they quite strict on the timings? And if so what point do they count the 24 hours back from? The time you leave your house, check in at the airport, your flight actually takes off or your flight lands in France? What happens if your flight gets delayed to a time more than 24 hours after you took the test?
Our flight is scheduled for 14:30. So does that mean we have to take the test after 14:30 on the previous day? Will there be time to get the results back the same day with the Randox or C19 tests or would we be better off trying to get the tests done at the airport? If so how long should we allow at the airport for the tests?

When I went to France 19th January I was flying out at 1240. So to be sure I took my Chronomics LFT (antigen) test at 1630 just in case of delays (arrival was 1530 CET). Got the certificate back less than 1 minute after uploading test strip photo. The UK return test was just as rapid. And all for £15.99 each!

@SlipnSlide, the Randox LFT / antigen test results and certificates are advertised as coming back within 3 hours.
In reality the 4 we have done have all come back within 2 minutes.

@SlipnSlide, For France it is within 24 hours of the departure time of the flight (or the 1st flight if your journey). So less than 24 hours from the departure time on your boarding card (which will be 10-20 minutes before your take off time). A delay would not be your fault (neither would passport checks delaying you on arrival!) so you would be find. The full details are here:
https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/L-actu-du-Ministere/Certificate-of-international-travel#from2
I would take it at around 1500 and depending on company your results will be back before you go to bed, especially with C19 (the one I used)

So we're hoping to drive to Italy via France then return a week later. I understand the rules for the way out (and the fact it's looking like we need a second lot of 4 tests to get into Italy after our overnight in France  )
But on the return leg, though, do we need to have done another 24 hr LFT for passing from Italy back into France? So in total the family will need 12 tests!?
