About Fit to Fly testing

Due to the ever evolving COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions are changing every day in the UK and abroad. As a result, more and more countries are requesting fit to fly tests to enter their country. We recommend you keep up to date with the latest travel information on the government website to ensure you have the most up to date information regarding your destination.

The PCR swab test will verify the presence of the covid-19 virus. Evidence shows that swab tests can detect covid-19 in people who don’t show any symptoms.

Airlines are requesting tests for all passengers so they can reduce the risk of infection during flights. This is usually within 72 hours before boarding but we recommend checking with the individual airlines as this may change.

You may also want to get tested for your own peace of mind so that you know you’ve done everything in your power to avoid infecting others on your journey.

Please allow a minimum of 3-5 days for the tests to be processed before the flight departure. We cannot be held responsible if results are delayed by the lab. 

Our guarantee

We will do our utmost to ensure your test is processed as quickly as possible by the lab. We are confident that the timelines quoted are achievable in almost all cases.

 

What we can’t guarantee

We are unable to guarantee the exact times quoted above. The lab we work with, while one of the UK’s best, is experiencing unprecedented volumes of requests and therefore a small number of test results are occasionally delayed.

Please be rest assured that we will do everything we can to ensure your travel is successful.

Pricing

Fit to Fly testing FAQ

The PCR swab test is collected by taking a sample from the throat and/or nose. The swab is sent to a specialist lab where it is tested for active covid-19 infection in the sample. The PCR test detects the genetic material in the virus called RNA which is extremely accurate.

As travel advice and guidelines are changing daily, we recommend you frequently check the advice provided by the Foreign Office for your destination, along with your airline.

If you think you may have any covid-19 symptoms, please follow the advice of the NHS. Please note that all Airlines have the right to refuse travel if they suspect you may have symptoms.

We highly recommend that as well as being tested for covid-19 before travelling, you follow the airport and airline guidelines before, during and after your flight. Including social distancing, wearing appropriate face coverings, and handwashing wherever possible. If you require further information, click here for the UK Government advice when travelling.
