Champions League Final | Travel Requirements + COVID Tests

[chaddblue]

Thought things were going well but panicking reading some of this. Is a drop off at Blindspot tomorrow morning going to get me a result in time to fly Saturday morning?

That’s the plan and that’s what they’ve said they’ll be able to do all along

Yep

 

[Doddy]

Im now worried about this 48 hours that city keep insisting for time before your flight out as again mentioned on the e ticket ive just received (flight 16 which has now had its departure time changed from 09:15 to 11:00 on the day of the final)
I did my test at 9AM this morning and delivered by hand to Canal St so my worry is by the time the flight leaves it will be more than 48 hours since I took the test.
should i be worried or is it 3 days like the government advice is ?

Had my test done in Didsbury. In a small chemist, but the test itself was then in a tiny room the size of a cupboard. The door closed, no windows. Me and some fella sat there taking the notes.

Seems like a great way of catching the virus, confined little space with everyone in and out coughing up their guts jabbing their tonsils with a swab all day.

Cowboys these testers you know. Money making scheme.

Hi have to disagree on this one had an appointment this morning and got the pdf back at 16:23 just ensure you check the junk folder.

They double checked the details you provide if you are going here allow maybe 10 mins to do the pre paperwork and dont forget your passport.

Did test at DAM in Preston, 2 city fans in front of me. They were told test results within 24 hrs, the tests when on sale stated £99 for SAME DAY, now the website says £99 for 24 hours. I was told if I paid for same day I will get same day, but we'll see. Nothing on about same day on email but a text came yesterday and said that.

No news of flight info/e-tickets from City yet either.

same position as yourselves but Dam didsbury test 09:20 and results back 16:23 same day. They did change the terms though ensure check junk folder

It’s 72 hours before flight departure time. It’s a Portuguese Government rule.

1. Confirmation of a Negative PCR Test – test MUST be taken within 48 hours of Manchester flight departure (from 1pm on Thursday 27th May)

FCO advice is within 72 hours of departure to Portugal, I think they confused things with the 48 hours as it contradicts the anytime on Thursday in the same email.
