The Government has announced the date fully vaccinated travellers will be able to use lateral flow test as Day 2 test - Oct 24th. These will be cheaper than PCR test which is currently required.
You will be able to order the lateral flow tests from 22 October, when a list of approved providers will be published on the gov.uk website.
Fully vaccinated passengers will be told to upload photos of their Covid-19 tests for verification.

NHS Test and Trace tests - which can be ordered for free cannot be used.
Applies to England - the devolved administrations haven’t announced their rules yet.
