Hi again, you only need a fit to fly antigen test that meets UK gov standard and not the PCR. Should cost between 20-40 euros. I would google pre flight tests for PDC or once there ask your hotel or local clinic. I actually bought mine from a company called Breathe Assure before I left and took i...

...t with me then you do test on a zoom call with RGN on video. She then sends certificate of fit to fly.

All good information on taking the tests before return to UK but what happens if the test is positive? You have to quarantine ? And is this for 10 days and at your own cost and is there an official accomodation where you can’t leave etc? Advice would be really helpful, we are out in 16 days 😀🤞thanks all .

Yes that's the big risk as far as I'm concerned, if you get a positive while in lanzarote it's 10 days in a quarantine hotel of their choice and from what I hear they are very strict with it too. Also if you test positive on return to UK its 10 days at home.

Just got back and wanted to add we had a company called LANZSALUD who came to our complex and room, took the test and gave us paperwork within 10 mins, cost was 25 euros each.

Hiya Joyce 

Please use the link below to find the British Hospital which is a clinic in the middle of Puerto Del Carmen on Avenida de las Playas. You only need to book an Antigen test for UK return if you have been double jabbed.

The cost is €45 and you get your result on a printed travel document in 20 minutes to half an hour. You may find tests online cheaper, which you take with you, but they involve going on zoom calls or Skype or waiting 24 hours for a result. 

For peace of mind I think this is the best solution. I have mine booked for 2 days prior to landing back in the UK. The window is three days prior to arriving back in the UK. The website allows you to book your own appointment up to a month in advance.

Have a great time and stay safe.

Hi excellent bit of advice, in relation to the Hospital, I am travelling this month ( Dec) , do you happen to know whether they continue to provide LFT on a weekend as my flight home is on a Monday, and I ve heard people state that they had great difficulty getting a test on the island during the weekend. 

Thanks

Ian
