Where can I get a COVID test for travel in the UK within 72 hours of departure?
Has anyone got a COVID test in the UK within 72 hrs of departure, where did you get it from?
Answer summary
The discussion provides various options for obtaining a COVID test in the UK within 72 hours of departure, particularly for travelers needing certification to fly. Heathrow Airport offers tests for £80 with results in one hour. Other recommendations include specific clinics and pharmacies across the UK, such as those mentioned on the London Thai Embassy's website, along with private GP services in local areas guaranteeing results within 24 hours. Costs vary, with some private clinics charging up to £250.

At the moment the LHR test is only for Italy and Hong Kong only.

I read on another forum that NHS travel clinics are doing 24 hour test at £100 . You have to phone your local hospital and ask for the travel clinic. Saw a few people use the service who were going back to Cambodia
Gary ****
It doesn't meet the PCR requirements for entry to Thailand so its a waste of time
Ray *****
@Gary ********
exactly it's a saliva test and would not be accepted in many countries. PCR is the only test acceptable to most countries Gary ****
@Ray ****
interesting ill look into that

That's great!! Good price too. Had between £150 and £300 quoted last month and not even guaranteed in 72 hours
Jonathan *******
Less than the rip offs some clinics charging £125 standard and £245 priority meaning hopefully guaranteeing you get test result back in 24hrs via email in your 3 days covid free days, £80 and test result back in an hour seems very reasonable.!
