You can also book a test on arrival at the airport test centres. Just Google the airport name and 2 day test to see the options,

Lloyd - the postal one is so simple. Ours was delivered to our hotel. Circular 1 Health (a company on the UK government approved list) is £49.99 but currently reduced to £37.

Not sure if they will message you but you are allowed to use the walk-in service in any case so I wouldn’t worry.

Re: Booster Jabs...
If you have had your 2 initial Covid jabs in Cyprus, avoid having the booster in UK by the NHS. Reason: Cyprus won't accept the NHS cert when it comes to trying to get the EU digital certificate from EUDCC. Oh the joys of Brexit! A friend of mine is having all kinds of problem having got into this ...

Re: TRAVELLING TO UK WITH JET 2
I understand that two days after arriving in the UK your PLF requires you to have a lateral flow test. What if that day falls on a Saturday or Sunday? Do you have freedom to choose where you will be tested, or does the government nominate test sites? And how flexible timewise are the testing times ...

Re: Complex Bank Accounts

It is very difficult to get past committee members removed and new members added unless a personal visit to the bank is made. Cyprus based committee ...
