Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Vaccination update

Tests update. I have a place in Spain I have already not seen for 12 months- its also locked down.The car is 12 months out of ITV and has been on a trickle charger

I also have 4 return flights to Malaga vouchers from cancellations last next year.

Based on the Government Road map of coming out of lockdown I have now booked two flights one in July one in September 2021.

Fortunately I and SWMBO will be fully vaccinated (2 jabs each) and if Spain is still dodgy I can choose to move these flights at no cost if necessary.

I then looked into how and where to get a fit-to=fly 72 hour before flight test. Found out the following is the current situation:

1. Cannot be done on or by NHS even if willing to pay.

.2. To get a UK test and certificate privately is between £99 and £180 per person per flight.

3. As yet I cannot find anything on Internet for for How, where or how much for test in Spain to get home.

4. Assuming Spanish costs will be similar to UK the fit to fly Covid tests "could" cost us between £400 and £700 per round trip. (between 2 and 3 times the cost of airfares)

The purpose of this post is to inform so that in the event you a planning offshore holiday to include costs of tests.

The purpose of this thread is NOT to solicit views on whether individual TT-ers would or would not go offshore this year.

My hope is that as we get nearer to 12 June other fit to fly Covid solution will be in place eg Vaccine Passports and/or use of NHS testing capability to provide fit to fly tests at a more reasonable cost..

My local large infrastructure (5 tents etc etc ) test centre appears to be permanently empty/under utilised.
