We have an 8 am flight FCO to LHR booked.LHR requires a covid test 1-3 days before arrival. Will we have time after checkin to get the termal 3 20 rapid Covid test? Getting the test right at FCO would be easist for us. Looks like they test between 0000 and 1400.
Hello currently in Viareggio and need to book a Covid test to fly back to the UK, it can be a rapid antigen test as long as the certificate is in English and it meets certain specificity criteria’s which most of these tests do. Can anyone advise a place to get the test booked please? Thank you
Hello! I will be in Puglia this summer and will need to obtain a rapid covid test before I fly from Brindisi to France. I will have time to either get my covid test in Lecce or Brindisi and I'm trying to learn where they might offer rapid covid testing in either of these 2 cities (at the train station, airport, somewhere else) as well as the hours? I've been researching online and I'm only finding information for larger cities in Italy. Any information would be helpful!
I am planning to fly from the UK to Egypt via a transit flight at Milan Malpensa airport. If I remain within Malpensa airport for just a few hours, before catching my flight to Sharm EL Sheikh, would I need a negative Covid test certificate on arrival at Malpensa or is it not necessary? Egypt allows you to take a PCR test on arrival at the Red Sea airports such as Sharm, Hurghada etc for only $30, which is much cheaper than PCR tests in the UK.
I'm pretty sure it was discussed but I cannot find any specific answers. Besides Red Cross tent at Milano Centrale station and Milano airport where else I can get Covid Antigen (rapid) test in English to travel back to US? Just want to know my options. Thank you!
We used Synlab for our PCR Covid-19 test in Italy. Can highly recommend Synlab.
We had our test done at 10am in the morning, and received our test results at 7pm the same day. We booked our test appointments 2 days ahead at a location near a larger city. Each test cost us 60 EUR, which was 50 EUR for the test plus 10 EUR for an English translation of the test results. We used the website locate.synlab.it to identify Synlab's lab locations.
The most cumbersome part was booking the appointments. To book the appointments, we used Synlab's iOS app. It worked, but it took a couple of tries till we got the accounts set up correctly, so we could book the appointments. At the test site, we received instructions on how to access our test results from a dedicated website. We downloaded the results as PDF documents from that dedicated site, and saved the PDFs on our phones.
Synlab's iOS app showed all open test spots. The website showed many of the locations to be fully booked, which they were not. The lab experience and speed was excellent. The iOS app and website experience was ok, once one knows how to navigate it.
This was August 2021. Hope this helps someone.
I am traveling to Rome next week on a COVID 19 Flight on United Airlines. Does anybody know where in the Chicago area I can get one of the approved tests with under 48 hours turnaround time? The United app says it has to be a Molecular PCR or Antigen/AG test. The TrustAssure website from United is not very helpful and we have been struggling to find a place to schedule an appointment for the correct test. Thank you!
We will be in Milan Sept 6 and need to get a covid test. Does anyone know how long the turn around times are for the Covid Test that you get in the train stations? I would like the test results to be back in a few hours if possoble.
Thank you.
Just realised for our BA flights to Naples tomorrow (05 June) that our covid tests were done 2 hours too early and show on the negative test certificates the exact time of 50 the swabs were taken. Will we be allowed to travel? or are they just interested in the date?
Planning to visit Tuscany next week and will need to undertake a Covid PCR test before returning to UK. A few questions about the tests:
where can I get a test in Tuscany and how do I organise it ?
are the results available in English or French ?
what is the time from test to results ?
Many Thanks,
Roger
Much the same as when entering Sardinia, the UK requires evidence of a negative PCR test within 3 days of the flight back to the UK. We're still hoping to stay at Hotel la Bisaccia in Baja in north east Sardinia, any ideas how far I'll need to travel to get the PCR test? I expect it'll be a minimum of a hire car journey to Olbia?
