I have booked a home fit to fly test from Boots for our trip to the US in March. Boots in on the goverment approved list and provide a certificate to fly so I though I was ok but I have since read that the test should be supervised so my question is has anybody used un supervised (video) tests and if so did you encounter any problems.

I have read on some other posts that some people have used un supervised without a problem so I would appreciate other peoples expierences.

Many thanks in advance.

    It’s a risk you may not want to take.

    someone like Qured does video supervised LFTs very cheaply

    Impressive understatement there!  It might be worth it on a short £10 Ryanair hop in Europe, but cutting corners to potentially jeopardise a long-haul trip to a destination not renowned for the flexibility of its immigration policies and staff would seem positively reckless....
