It doesn’t depend on the time. The return test just has to be taken in the three days before. Gov website gives the example of a flight to UK on Friday can be done Tues, Weds or Thurs

Here’s the official text…

“Taking your test in the UK before travel
If you are returning to the UK within 3 days, you can use the result of a COVID-19 test that you take in the UK before you travel. You must use a private test provider for the test and not an NHS test.

The service on which you will arrive back in the UK must set off for the UK within 3 days of when you took the test.”

Have I got it right that if I take a test Thursday for a departure flight Friday, I won't have to take a pre flight test in Portugal on Sunday?

Confusing stuff this. Suppose I could book a postal test for the Wednesday, but that'd mean I'd need to take a pre flight test in Portugal to get home?

Is there more than 72 hours before your test time on Thursday and your departure time in Portugal on Sunday? If there isn’t you should be fine

I would still play safe and make sure the test is taken "within three days" as it says and no more than 72 hours before your departing flight. Not a precisely enough worded document from our Government.

It gives the specific example as well I mentioned


Take a coronavirus test before you travel to England​

You must have proof of a negative coronavirus (COVID-19) test to travel to England.

You must take a test even if:

You must take the test in the 3 days before the service on which you will arrive in England departs.

For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you must take the test on the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

It's not. GOV UK website states 3 days, not 72 hours and cites an example that if you have a test on a Tuesday it does you for a flight on the Friday

Fair enough, sorry my mistake. Germany specifically says 72 hours and I assumed UK was doing the same.

Dawn of vaccine passports: EU set to let in UK tourists with two jabs

The EU is expected to sign off on plans for people from Britain who have had both jabs to fly anywhere in Europe without having to quarantine on their arrival or show a negative Covid test.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

Looks like you double jabbers may not need PCR test to go to Portugal. Depends when they actually implement it of course. May just be a bit too late for next weekend.

PS it is also being reported elsewhere with more reputable sources, but the DM doesn’t have a paywall

It is expected that if the ambassadors reach an agreement the decision will be formally adopted at the EU trade ministers council on Thursday (20 May).

Hopefully it will be with immediate effect to give people time to cancel their PCR tests and get a refund.

Having said that perhaps the 3 day period is a loose requirement and it doesn’t come down to hours.....Can anyone clarify?

Before I buy a test to take over with me has anyone found anywhere in Lisbon/Porto that offers the rapid LFT test?

If you think about it, the 72 hour rule would be pretty harsh if you had a test at 3pm on the Thursday and your flight home was due to take off at 2pm on the Sunday which would fall within the 72 hours, but then the flight home was delayed for 2 hours, so 3 days regardless of times makes more sense.

Hi @jimbo101 is there any update? I ask cos the info is out today but if it is still PCR tests, bubbles and no zebra pants I don't think I'll bother.

My insiders tell me that risk is still the same, although the Covid security marshals will be in full kevlar body armour and will be disinfecting their batons between beatings.
Also, the €10 UEFA branded burgers will be served to you using 4 foot plastic tongs.
Once in the stadium you are not allowed to leave your seat, but as everything will be shut - due to covid - then it shouldn't matter.
You will have to apply for the toilet ballot prior to departure and if successful will be allocated a 5 minute slot.
You will be accompanied by a covid marshal who will spray you with DDT before you return to your seat.
Other than that, you know the drill

Stay home
Stay safe
Don't apply for a ticket

Have you managed to book a test ( lateral flow or PCR ? ) in Portugal before you come back to the UK. ? This part of all the testing is the bit that concerns me. Any advice ? Like you , I've booked flights and hotels ( 4 nights ) .

No appointment needed just go to the synlabs kiosk at the airport, rapid test 30 euro. Or you can go to one of the many places in the centre of porto up to you mate.

After spending days on here trying to reassure people that 6000 is a lot of tickets and a lot aren't bothering going, I'm at the mercy of being hoisted by my own petard.

two of us have booked Spike's two night trip. Im on the cup scheme with 15000 points and not worried in the slightest about getting a ticket. My mate has about 12,000. So far so good. He's booked his PCR and we are all systems go. He's just texted me tonight and he forgot to join the cup scheme in 19/20.

Normally I'd use someone else's card to get his ticket but not sure that will be possible this year. So basically if it doesn't go down to non cup scheme season ticket holders he's screwed.

I'm in a similar position. I have nearly 14000 points but don't have a 2020/2021 season ticket because of covid (deferred or whatever the option was), so therefore not in cup scheme. I've been in the cup scheme every season until now. I'm travelling over anyway even knowing I'm not getting ticket
