    We went to Ibiza in July and the test that needed to be done whilst still in Ibiza was done in our hotel room and our results were emailed to us in under 2hrs and then we did our return test @ Heathrow Airport arrivals 

    We are going to Skiathos end of this month and the test to be done whilst still in Skiathos is done at the port and is FREE and results emailed back to you and is recognised and accepted in the UK & our day 2 tests are home kits supplied by RANDOX £43

    We are going to Crete in September and we will follow up when in resort regarding the tests that need to be done whilst still in resort but we will be using: EXPERT-MEDICALS.CO.UK as their Fully Vaccinated Amber Arrivals- Day 2 Test (home kit) is £28.00 and the lowest price I've seen.

    Safe & Happy Travels

    Has anyone taken the antigen tests with them from the UK in hand luggage and if so did they have any problems going out through security
    They contain a small vial of liquid so that needs to be separated from the pack and placed in your liquids bag. Assuming you don't object to doing that then there is no problem.

    Do you just get one test? What happens if the test comes back as invalid like LFT sometimes can

    It depends where you're going. I used Qured which I rate. Can book the video test at your best convenience and get the certificate within the hour.
