Fit to travel pre departure covid test

claire_robinson

Please , please help;)
I am so completely confused😕
I am hoping  to travel to Portugal on Sunday 27th.  Departure time is 5.50am and arrival time is 8.30am.

I have just ordered the pre travel test online. I've heard horror stories about people getting the test but being refused onto the flight because they had test done 72hours before travel departure and not arrival time. 

I was just wondering what everyone's experiences and interpretations are?

Am I right in getting the test done approximately 11am on Thursday 23rd to be within 72hours of arrival? 

I hope this makes sense...... driving myself mad!

Thanks

I think I asked similar recently for daughter's flight. I decided to be on the safe side by using the arrival in destination country as the  timeframe and I added on a couple of hours to take into account a delayed flight as no one could adequately answer that either.
