How quickly will you get the results back ? Will it be in time for your flight ?

Is an antigen test so results back in 60 mins along with certificate , it’s more a question of us this test and provider certificate ok for entry

Yes this will be fine, I used this provider for my trip to the USA. I flew with BA and they have the option to use the verify app. It did not recognise the QR code on the result certificate, but I uploaded it manually and it was accepted in seconds. As long as it is the PCR test it will be fine. I would recommend using the app as it was very quick once I got to the airport on this side with the app ready. I got a PCR test I don't know if the lesser once is accepted.

Nobody on the USA side checked anything, it is all the responsibly of the airline prior to departure. I would keep a copy of all documents just in case on your phone etc.  A bit more of a mess coming back to the UK from the US side, they asked to see the vaccine app and PCR test booking. I assume because the rules keep changing. As soon as you arrive in the USA I would find a test provider and book ready for when you leave. Again I believe the Verify app will be used coming back as well but manual checks were carried out. Nothing checked on the UK side on return.
