Flying from Turkey to Scotland - family of 4 - kids 3 & 7 to Scotland
There are discrepancies with Day 2 PCR requirements between Jet2 & Scot Government. Jet2 may be showing UK, (meaning England) but obviously don't want to be denied boarding.
Jet2 PCR requirements from their website - https://www.jet2.com/en/flights/safe-travel/covid-19-test#videos
"You and all your party, except children aged four and under, will have to take a COVID-19 PCR test on or before day two of your arrival into the UK. You don't need to self-isolate unless the test result is positive, unless the below applies."
Scottish Gov't Advice from - https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-international-travel-quarantine/pages/red-amber-and-green-list-countries/
"Under 18 and travelling from non-red list countries

"Under 18 and travelling from non-red list countries
As long as they have not been in a red list country in the 10 days before arriving in Scotland, children under 18 do not need to:
- take a test before they travel to Scotland
- self-isolate when they arrive, as long as they either normally live in the UK, EU or US, or are a dependent of someone who has been fully vaccinated overseas
If your child is aged 11 to 17, they must take a COVID-19 PCR test within 2 days of arriving in Scotland.
Children under 11 do not need to take this test. "
On the 'passenger locator form' there isn't an option to add a child's PCR booking number so does that mean they don't need/aren't required to take the day 2 PCR test?
Confused! Any knowledge of advice appreciated - (will try to contact Jet2 for clarification as well)

If you are travelling direct to Scotland you follow the Scottish rules.
UK does not include Scotland for covid rules. UK rules are as Jet2 say for UK only.1
