I ‘think’ you only need an antigen test for the ‘fit to fly’ home. But check the ever changing UK.gov website to be sure. They are the cheaper test around €25 each.  That’s what we have booked for the end of July. 

Great thank you

We flew home on Saturday we had our test done at Interklinic in La Cala they are situated above Supersol.

We booked our test by telephone and had the test the day before travel at a cost of 45 Euros per person. I wouldn’t suggest Malaga Airport as the queues were horrendous. 

Hello do you have the website for Interklinic so I can book our test 

Also was this price for a PCR test


thanks

Is that the only test needed just a day before please?

The airport is €24. Gets quite booked. You need to book online.  If you are near the airport you could visit the day before. Yes only an antigen test is needed with 72hours back (at this moment!). Airport €24. Most other places between €45 and €55. Just make sure it is a fit to fly and is acceptable by Uk gov

Hi we are looking to book a test before we fly back to the uk. Can you have the test  at the airport by appointment  on the day you are due to fly home or would it have to be 2 days before?

We have used it 3 times now and book 2 1/2 hours before our flight. It is all very efficient. You get your results back in 5 - 15 mins. We just sit and wait as you can’t check in suitcases without your negative result. 

Friends of ours couldn’t get the test  before their  flight as it was booked up so went 2 days before. You can do that too. I suppose the only anxious thing is if you do it just before the flight is the uncertainty. We felt as we always keep to ourselves - eat/ drink outside our chances of catching covid was very low.
