Select destinations now accept a negative Fit to Fly COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test certificate for travel. Although not as accurate as the gold standard PCR test, many destinations such as USA, Turkey and much of Europe have begun to accept negative Antigen tests as proof you are fit to fly. Our Rapid Antigen Lateral Flow Fit to Fly tests are accepted by ALL airlines and destinations providing this test is suitable for the destination you are travelling to.

Antigen Tests are lateral flow tests which provide a result within 20 minutes. The tests can be carried out in-clinic or by yourself using one of our home test kits and you simply upload a picture of your test along with a photo ID/passport. You will then be issued with a signed Fit To Fly Certificate by one of our UK trained registered healthcare professionals within TWO hours which can be used to travel to select destinations such as USA, Jamaica, Italy, France, Turkey and Germany.

Which COVID Tests Do I Need to Travel?

Vaccinated Travellers

Pre-Departure - Check the rules for the country you are travelling to on the gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice website. Most destinations require a PCR or Antigen test 24-72 hours before departure. You may also need to check with your airline which test you require and when, to ensure you are allowed to board your flight. Some destinations will allow you to travel without a test if you have proof that you are fully vaccinated with an NHS COVID vaccination pass.

Before Returning to the UK - As of 4am on February 11th, you will no longer require a test to travel to the UK or a Day 2 test on arrival to the UK.

This rule also applies to anyone under the age of 18 regardless of their vaccination status.
