Why are you looking for a PCR? Currently only an antigen is needed to fly, around 25/30€ a time.

Hello everyone,


UK government “recommends” PCR for return flight. However the much cheaper alternative  antigen test is 100% acceptable and will provide safe return. My parents returned without issue just yesterday. They both had the antigen test provided quickly, without fuss at Isla Plana pharfor €30. I have just checked the necessary governmental site and the antigen test remains 100% acceptable. Hope this helps.

Please check and only put accurate info: uk recommends PCR, NOT changed the rules on antigen.
