TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for RT-PCR and Fit to Fly tests before flying out of the UK. Several users responded with experiences from different testing services, emphasizing the reliability of local clinics over postal services, especially during the busy holiday season. Medicspot was recommended for its guaranteed next-day results and certification, along with cautions about potential delays with postal tests.

Go online to medicspot U.K. they guarantee results by the next day at 11pm and fit to fly certificate Β£149

They have lots of places where you pick it up and drop it off. It’s a U.K. approved lab so no issue.

πŸ‘ the document they seemed most concerned with at check in and arrival was the medical insurance I had to point out where it said covid is covered so just double check it says it in your paperwork πŸ€™
