Sooperstar Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 26 minutes ago, highlandjambo3 said: Watching Heathrow airport program the other day. Guy landed at arrivals with no day 2 test booked, he said he couldn’t afford it but he would go and get a test in 2 days time…….started with the airport staff where he insisted he was not paying so the cops were called. After a lengthy debate with the cops where they insisted he must (or should have) have a day 2 test booked, he continued to insist he wasn’t paying for it. Eventually they let him go insisting he better get the test done in 2 days time of face a fine of xxxx……..the outcome was like he could get into serious trouble if he didn’t do a test in 2 days time but he hadn’t broken the law………smug arse looked back at the camera with a look like “I’m not doing it and, you don’t have the means to check up on that”. So, the question begs: must have a test booked or should have a test booked? That was not the outcome! They issued him with a fine which he said he was going to challenge in court.

It will mean that use can use your certification in the EU to attend venues or events that require you to be vaccinated, rather than have to get a separate test.

theshed Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Sorry to ask as I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but I’m away to Madrid in two weeks ( 3rd time of asking) do I need to buy a LFT at £21.50 and get it sent out to my house. That will then give me a number to put into my passenger locator form? Also where do I fill in the locator form? Does the form appear on my booking when I go to check in I’m double jagged and have a paper copy of this.. do I need to do anything else?

Many thanks When you say "do I need to buy", do you mean because of Spanish requirements when you're going or British requirements on your way back? Spain requires visitors from the UK to have either a vaccination certificate showing full vaccination issued by the NHS, or alternatively a negative Covid-19 test issued 72 hours or less before arrival into Spain. Visitors also have to complete a form to be sent an FCS QR code - effectively a code to show they meet either the jab or test requirements if asked on the way into Spain. You fill in a form and get a QR code emailed, but you can't complete the form until 48 hours before arrival in Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked passed a group of school children aged about 6 or 7 and everyone off them, including the 2 teachers had a mask on, this was out in the open air, on the street.
