We've been lucky enough to have 2 separate holidays in the last couple of months and due to certain circumstances tried different providers. First of all we used the Randox option (£48 each) and requested the post to home test. This one was fine, but as you do it yourself and post it back to them it seems a bit of a farce as there was no checks at all that you've done the test correctly. We have been doing our own LFT's twice weekly, so we're confident it was correct, but I thought the whole idea of a PCR test was that it was done professionally, hey ho. Second time around and after returning from San Stef last week we used the drive-through Express Test option at Birmingham Airport (£60 each). This was very well organised and a very thorough medical professional completed the test. Results from both providers came through in about 24 hours.
The antigen testing in resort was also a very different experience. First we used the Eurofins test at Fuerteventura airport (27 Euro each), very thorough and provided by medical professionals in full PPE), results back in about 30 minutes. Whilst in San Stef (30 euro) we booked into the local clinic (opposite Condor). Good communication by email to be fair to them, but the actual test hardly touched the sides (one poke) and seemed very light touch. Result was back in 24 hours.
Hopefully the need to pay for these type of test will disappear soon, but for now whilst we have to comply I would say its well worth the additional cost, especially as flight prices are so cheap at the moment. Our Corfu friends are making the experience as good as it can be and are all adhering to covid regulations. The whole holiday felt very safe indeed.
If you need any advice please let me know.
