Covid Free flight question about PCR and timing

Hi All,

we are leaving on a Tuesday at 5pm, and taking the PCR test on Sunday at 10am.

Will it be accepted since it's 2 days before but 55hrs before not <48 hrs ?

The Lab closes at 5pm on Sunday, just want to be sure it's processed in time.

Thanks :-)

Bus from Florence to Siena on Sunday

We are arriving at Florence on Sunday 9/22 and hope to take a bus to Siena that afternoon. We can't find a bus schedule and we understand that buses do not run very frequently on Sundays. Does anyone have information on bus schedules on Sunday afternoons.? Should we take a train instead of a bus and would you suggest that we reserve online our train ticket. We prefer a bus but are concerned since Sunday may be a problem with buses not running frequently.

We have been in Italy for two weeks, still need Covid test?

We are planning on going to Sardinia upcoming Sunday from Genoa. We arrived in Italy two weeks ago with a certificate of a negative COVID-19 test from the Netherlands (out home country). Do we need another certificate to enter Sardinia by boat?

We travel with our camper. We are both not vaccinated and did not have COVID-19 in the past.

Flights to Catania, worth driving to pallermo?

Hi everyone, I'm about to book flights to Catania for me and my girlfriend, it's roughly 3 hours flight from where I currently am.

We're meant to arrive on Wednesday around 8pm and return on Sunday at 5pm which gives us roughly 3.5 days.

Were really not so picky when traveling and often prefer to avoid tourist traps so Sicily sounds ideal. Catania destination form our location.

However, a good freind of mine who has been all over Sicily strongly suggested to hire a care and drive to Pallermo and spend three days there instead, which can be done in 3 hours.

Given that we only have three days im wondering if its worth spending 5-6 hours in total driving back and forth?

One one hand, our last day on Sunday we can wake up early and drive back but I'd rather hang out stress free, on the other hand pallermo seems to be a better deistanation according to my freind. general travel guides/blogs etc.

Hopefully one of you can be kind enough and advise? Would any of you do the drive in the 3-4 days?

Palermo covid testing

Hi all,

Firstly does anyone know any centres open on a Sunday? Does anyone know if you can do the day 5(day 6 morning) test to get out of quarantine at the airport? Lastly, does anyone know a reliable centre to get the return to the UK PCR test?

Any info would be great!

Need some tips- Renting Cars on Sunday

I’ve read and seen that car rental places are closed on Sundays in Bolzano. We will be taking a train from Florence to Bolzano - or at least we had planned to. And then drive to our hotel in Badia BZ. What would you guys recommend to do? We can’t get the car on Monday because that’s our wedding day. Is there another city close by where the train station is near? Where we would be able to rent a car on a Sunday?

TIA

vaccinated US citizens entering Italy via EU list C country

Happy Sunday! Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, but I wasn't able to find an answer from recent posts.

My husband and I are fully vaccinated US citizens who will be working remotely from Greece for about 16 days. We'd like to go to Italy afterwards (starting around July 6th), and I'm trying to understand the current regulations. Obviously we are not able to take a COVID-tested flight directly from the US (without a lot of unnecessary flying across the Atlantic!), but this page seems to suggest that we'd be okay to enter having spent at least two weeks in Greece, which is on List C:

"For all those who have stayed or transited in the fourteen days preceding entry into Italy in one or more of the States and territories referred to in List C..."

https://www.salute.gov.it/portale/nuovocoronavirus/dettaglioContenutiNuovoCoronavirus.jsp?lingua=english&id=5412&area=nuovoCoronavirus&menu=vuoto&tab=3

My interpretation is that regardless of citizenship, you are clear to enter Italy if you've spent at least two weeks in a List C country, with the requirement of a 48 hour COVID test. Is that correct?

Thank you all so much!

Chicago Area Molec. PCR or Antigen/AG Test for COVID Flight

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!
