Fly me to the Moon - your 3rd travel Megathread - read OP

Well my antigen at Edinburgh Airport was negative but when filling in passenger locator form today I realise that says 72 hours before departure, filled it in anyway even though its 48 hours before departure, so hopefully I don't have any problems when I go to board flight on the 3rd. Other folk I know who were travelling back from Scotland to Ireland said online passenger locator form had to be filled in prior 48 hours. Will I have problems or will it be overlooked if everything else is in order.

Be careful if you visit Lisbon, queued 6 hours for an antigen in the airport because I couldn’t get one anywhere else or book on line, the emailed results came in 4 minutes after my flight took off. They didn’t let me board the plane so had you book another flight for tomorrow. Word of warning…

you don't need a test coming from Ireland as Ireland and all of the Eu are considered "risk Countries".It is "high risk countries" that need a test to enter Spain.That list has been updated on the 30th,and has been every week,you just need the covid cert as per now normal.

THis is from the hellocanaryislands link

1.2. IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING FROM RISK COUNTRIES* WITHIN THE EU AND SCHENGEN

Contenido

* Risk countries are those on this list.

Control form. We recommend completing the form digitally, including all of the necessary documents in order to speed up airport checks (fast control). Only digital forms are accepted, not paper. If you are travelling on a cruise ship, this is the form you need to complete.

and one of the following requirements for persons over the age of 12:

a) Certificate of full vaccination against COVID-19.

b) Negative Diagnostic Test of Active COVID-19 Infection. Antigen tests taken a maximum of 48 hours before arrival in Spain and NAAT tests (PCR, TMA, LAMP) taken a maximum of 72 hours before arrival in Spain will be accepted.

c) Certificate of recovery confirming that the holder has recovered from COVID-19, issued at least 11 days after the first positive NAAT test (PCR, TMA, LAMP). The certificate is valid for 180 days.

By way of an exception, and randomly, certain passengers may be required to perform a diagnostic test of active COVID-19 infection in the forty-eight hours following their arrival, the result of which they must communicate to the Border Health Service by the means indicated for this purpose.

Thanks, you are right, I read it wrong as well, I paid upfront for the antigen tests but I think I can cancel them.

It can be up to 72 hours before, so you have 3 days. If your test was 48 hours before, that’s grand.

Whereabouts did you get the test done? Walk in or booked in advance? Cost? Antigens seems very cheap. Im flying to Dublin Wednesday morning.

Is it even possible to get PCR tests for travel at the minute?

Flying to Canaries on Thur, looks like a good time to go with the weather turning, but this risk / high risk country thing is a hassle. I'm hoping its static until we leave and return next week

No actually I'm not. And no idea why you're bringing Leo into it. I just hate people calamitising unnecessarily. This time last year you had people saying travel was over, finished. By late summer planes were jam packed again,fares were rising and we all enjoyed the relative ease of travel with our certs. I'm hopeful all that will be back in a few months but you're saying we'll be testing "for good." Now if that is what looks very likely and you have a reliable source fair enough but otherwise you're calamitising and don't you think we've all had enough of that!
