Free US tests before travelling home - approved by UK or not?

[Katnic1]

I took tests out to Spain with me in September. Got them through living care for £28 each. You do the test, upload the photo to be checked alongside a picture of your passport and a certificate is emailed to you a short while later.

Just to update I have uploaded mine and my mothers COVID test certs to VeriFLY and both have been approved and accepted.

Both tests were 100% free and included all the relevant information on . To confirm the address I used was at 1944 East Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee- its a strip mall and the testing pop up site was opposite a Dollar Tree.

I hope it saves some people some cash!

On a personal note, I have had the most fabulous 2 weeks in Florida. We haven't seen a drop of rain, the weather has been glorious. Its actually been one of my all time favourite trips and I haven't worried or thought once about COVID. I am dreading coming home but should (hopefully) be back in 7 weeks . Happy Travels everyone!

Hi YR... Dibber checked-in with his Center for Covid Control free Rapid Antigen test last night with no issues at all. Altho it may not be required in May, we personally wouldn't hesitate to use their Cape Coral free testing service vs paying circa $70pp for the same test. One Dibber is well pleased that he won't be shelling out for his party of 9

Be aware, there appeared to be a verification blip with FlyReady earlier, if the app refuses to verify present test results at check-in.

I appreciate it seems too good to be true, but this company, who's HQ is in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, are offering free PCR and Rapid Antigen tests in various US States [altho a tip to the tester won't go amiss ]. HERE is their website.

It will also need to show the date the test was taken and what specific test it was.

We are travelling back over new year (all being well and we actually get). Decided to go with Qured tests. Wasn't sure if it would be open over the period and didn't want more worry. I did contact the free option via email to check but didn't get response.
