Select 'Rapid Test Antigen'.

Best regards

Thanks for your reply Philip. They only have 1 appointment left for the morning we depart 🤷‍♀️

Hi Bluerose

You can get an Antigen test, at Malaga Airport, currently this costs Euro 24.45.

You are strongly advised to book an appointment so that you do not have to queue or find that they are too busy to test you before your flight:

I would pay the additional Euro 6, and get the test where you are staying, up to 72 hours prior to departure so that, if you test positive, and cannot fly, you have a day or three to make alternative arrangements.

You should also check that your intended travel insurance will pay out for the additional expenses of staying in Spain another 10 days to quarantine and the additional cost of the return commercial flight and/or a private jet to get you back immediately.

Best regards

Philip

Hiya. I booked two slots for me and my husband to test at malaga airport but we didn’t receive anything on mail or phone. 

Is this normal? Should we go ahead or book something else?

We have a 2 year old with us so it’s going to be awful if we can’t get tested in the airport

When I booked my test I got an email with confirmation of my test booking.  You can also queue for a test without having a booking but it can be a long and slow moving queue.
