This is interesting, anyone who rocks up* at Gibraltar Airport can get a rapid Antigen test for £50 (e60) and certificate as long as they are travelling to the UK; it's fare more if you are travelling somewhere else.
Can't see why there isn't such a walk-in facility at Ibiza airport for tourists returning home (unless I'm mistaken and there already is?) so we know the price, know the procedure and don't have to worry about finding clinics, appointments, posting etc. Yes, Ibiza airport isn't as accesible as Gibraltar's is - but hey if you are in PdB or Ibiza Town it's only a bus-ride and won't take that much out of your holiday?

Bloody hope not! The vaccine drive in spain has surpassed uk now so hopefully that will be taken into accountWhat does everyone think the chances of going Amber Plus in next weeks review are?
It will ... but not in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Think it will last to Sep / Oct until more things will open. my opinion.
Why ? At this time everyone is vaccined who wants to be. What can we do more after this ?
I had these recommended. No zoom. Just need to email a pic of test and passport to get certificate by return email. No idea how legit they are so may wanna check reviews.

Just returned from Portugal and used these tests. Had the kits ordered and delivered before we left and took them with us. Dead easy to use and we had the certificates back by email within 12 hours. I think they were only £29 each.I had these recommended. No zoom. Just need to email a pic of test and passport to get certificate by return email.

Got our day 2 tests from Dante Labs which were £49 each. Ordered them online whilst we were over there so we could put the ref number on the passenger locator form. They had been delivered by the time we got home. Easy to use, posted them off and had the results back in a couple of days.
We used Dam for our pre holiday tests. Went to their clinic in Liverpool, £29 each and results back the next day.
It's a bit of a faff but worthwhile just to get away !
We're booked in for Ibiza at the start of September so will probably use all of the above again.

Thanks. It was for my sister who is flying out to Madeira at 6am on Monday - unfortunately she missed the cutoff time to get either this or Qured, not sure why they won't do a DPD delivery of the kit because people outside of the M25 are basically out of luck unless they arrange it way before they travel. She'll have to try to find something locally instead.

Thanks so much - I've ordered one for her to get delivered next day tomorrow.
Question... I fly Sunday evening and have taken a covid test yesterday, results were negative. However I've just realised as I took the test in the morning, it wasn't taken within 72 hours of my flight, more like 82.
Does the result need to be within the 72 hours or the time you took it?

f*** sake... so I'll need a rapid test at the airport then?
Or take one today or tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone posting their experiences travelling to Ibiza! I'm happy to be travelling to Ibiza today for the first time in two years. I wonder how much we'll be able to hear of Palmarama from the beach in front. I remember hearing Guetta and the crowd two years ago while swimming.

BBC news read a report than chancellor Sunak has called for ALL travel restrictions to be lifted. That won't happen, but he does have some sway and knows the travel industry has a huge tax income outcome, a lot from passenger air duty. So not knowing the finer details I suspect it might be a shot to get the government to relax restrictions between the UK and EU at least in the upcoming review. To a layman like myself, that could mean test-free travel (at least return) for the fully vaxxed. However he reports are very short on actual detail, could just mean putting more countries in the green/amber list - so still testing.
But I'm not holding my breath....maybe over the winter when there is less travel and more people everywhere will be vaxxed we might get that; but as I have already admitted I'm not going anywhere until testing has been withdrawn.

Sunak calls on Johnson to relax UK travel rules – report
The Sunday Times reports that Rishi Sunak has written to the Prime Minister about the damage that the current border rules are doing to the country’s economy.
Second test taken yesterday morning at 11:30am, negative result back at 9:30am this morning, gym, food, then off to the airport! Back for round 2!
