Mallorca booked

After a lot of hassle changing my Barbados 2020 holiday, with Tui many times! Back and fourth between Barbados and Portugal, due to red list then quarantine on arrival rules, we now have a change confirmed. I'll never book with them again!

I was looking for something cheap to get most of our money back but due to the flight being a third party flight (BA) despite it being a TUI package it went up by the thousands or they wouldn't let us pick the one we wanted...4 weeks later after threatening legal action and asking for a copy of all recorded calls we now have 11 nights in Mallorca booked.

I've just booked my 20 year old and 12 year olds PCR fit to fly tests for 7:40pm at Heathrow Airport on the 25th (we fly at 13:00hrs on the 27th, arriving in Mallorca at 16:25hrs) for a pretty good price of £59 each. expresstest.co.uk if anyone is nearby needing one. They say the results will be by 10pm the next day, in exceptional circumstances 48hrs so I really hope they do get it back to me the next day.

Theres a medical centre nearby our hotel that I can book the antigen 72 hr prior to departing for home tests for 30 euros each, which I think is pretty good too.

Just need to find a good price for 2 day pcr test for all 4 of us now.

I'm still nervous about any changes happening and won't be able to set in to relaxed mode until I'm on the aeroplane!


What is the best waterpark in Mallorca please? - I haven't been since I was a teenager and was in Alcudia then, we're going to Santa Ponsa.

You need to move your PCR’s! My daughter is in Mallorca, your PCR needs to be 48hrs from when you land(ie. not before 4.30pm 2days before landing). Wouldn’t let my daughter fly as her test was taken 49hrs before landing, had to fly out 2 days later.

She also used expresstest(at Brum airport) but her second result didn’t come through until 2.30am on day of departure (check in was 4am!) so don’t panic if it doesn’t come in by 10pm, there’s an online form to fill in if you’ve not got them by then.

There is 45 hours between test and landing so that's within the 48 hours required.

25th 7:40pm test
26th 7:40pm 24 hours
27th 7:40pm 48 Hours ..we land in Mallorca on 27th at 4:25pm, with 3 hrs 15 minutes left of the 48 hours so the tests are within 48 hours of landing.

Thanks for letting me know not to panic if the result is not here by 10pm on the 26th.
