Hello, I have not flown since Covid and like many people a bit perplexed as to what I need to do before getting on a plane! I have looked at the travel advice page for Denmark and it states that we need to do an antigen or PCR test but does not say if it needs to be supervised or not? Does anyone know please?

Also regarding travelling with children, on our.gov travel advice page it states that children aged 15-17 do not need to do a test if they are travelling with vaccinated parents - but it does not mention this on the Denmark page so I am unsure if this is necessary or not?

If anyone could please advise - I would really appreciate it, we are off to Copenhagen for half term.

    you are correct that these is a mismatch as UK site says 15-17 exempt from testing and self-isolating and Denmark site says "Children and young people aged 15–17 years old travelling with a parent who is fully vaccinated or who has previously been infected are exempt from the self-isolation requirement." (only reference under 15 being exempt from testing)
    Timatic (used by the airlines) shows "
    Exception: This does not apply to passengers younger than 15 years" - so I expect the airline will be expecting to see a test result for anyone over 15
    Their rules are due to change 1st Feb so may be best holding off a few days to see what changes are made
