    Have you completed the Spanish Health Form using your EU equivalent DCC - utilising the NHS Covid Status pass ?
    I believe you only need show the latter now on entry - but not sure if that's the official line rather than just local practice.

    Just travelled to Lanzarote, the Spanish health form needs to be completed online, within 72 hours of travel. Each passenger will then get a document with a QR code that will be scanned on entry. Masks are compulsory on all flights to Spain. No tests required.

    Is that not using the original registration method where. for example) you had to include your hotel number as one of the questions to be completed ?
    The more recent alternative uses EU Digital Covid Certificate or equivalent (such as NHS Covid Status QR code), a much more straightforward option.

    If you have your valid digital covid pass then you don't need any other tests or paperwork but you will have to wear a mask on the plane, yes.

    I'm in Tenerife at the moment (it's lovely by the way).  

    We didn't need anything other than the NHS covid vaccination details - we brought a print copy but some others were using their phones.  We weren't required to fill in any Spanish health forms.

    Masks were not required on the the flight but we were asked to put masks on to leave the aircraft and within the Spanish airport.  Some people were not wearing masks in the airport and they weren't challenged.  It was all very relaxed...unlike Manchester airport which was chaos!

    We just showed our vaccination proof, they weren’t very interested.

    You no longer need to fill in the health form for Spain if your vaccinated. You just show your vaccination on arrival. The travel qr code on the NHS app or a print out is accepted.

    Spain is reviewing its rules again on 15 May - so its possible the Covid entry rules may be relaxed further or even abolished.
