Has anybody had issues getting into the UK with the 72 hour/3 day thing?

We just checked in for our 18.05 BA flight and our PCR test was Thursday morning and we had no problems when they checked it

I was on a Gatwick flight. Quite a few Chelsea did not have all their paperwork- tests presumably and they were left behind after an hour’s delay.

If you’re not sorted yet give Rachel at Blindspot a call direct - 07946459607

Thanks, the number for Mike I got from a pm managed to sort it out hour n half before gate closure on last flight, never slept so bad the night before + talk about morning stress.

I’m the same fucked

How did you get on?

 

[Phil Mitchell Foden]

Tinpot airport. How many have missed flights today because none or their boards or screens work?

No problems using PCR from Thursday on our 1805 BA flight. We also seem to be the only ones who got away in decent time and landed 15 minutes early.

Manchester border control only wanted to see passports and ask what country we’d come from.

No, I had another in Porto just to be safe but shown them the one from Thursday and they let me through

Shite never made it today the PCR test company emailed apologising and sent my 139 back
They are not interested re my match ticket taxis and day 2 Covid test losses
I am considering taking them to the small claims court for breach of contract as a matter of principle

Landed in Liverpool about 45 mins ago. Only checked my passport. Didn't ask anything about the UK locator form (and therefore the day 2 test) or my negative test result.

Absolute shambles.

I honestly don't know how border control are not up to speed yet. My last flight was in November, and there was nothing. Just breeze on through as normal, despite all the warnings about locator forms etc. If it's the same now, the cynic in me suggests it's just policy now.

Nobody asked for it.

Edit: Having said that they stuck a barcode on the back of my passport at the test which might have been scanned at passport control, or possibly when I showed it at check in on the journey out it might have been loaded into the system.

I asked at Manchester whether the border control person wanted to see the paperwork everyone had said we must have, but she just took passport number and said everything was on the system linked to it.

 

[frothy]

Before we got off the plane in Manchester one of the cabin crew said when you get off there will be someone there to check your temperature and check your passenger location information, only thing that was checked was passport, never got through passport control so quick before

 

[Impeccable One]

Flew back from Lisbon to Heathrow. Technically I’m in transit before flying home to the USA on Tuesday. The check in staff said I needed a day 2 test booking, with proof, in order to fly. And that my PLF was completed incorrectly. I told them I didn’t, and it wasn’t, and provided the official rules on the GOV.UK website. 45 minutes later, after they’ve phoned multiple people, including the officials in UK, they apologized, told me I was correct, and issued my boarding card. Talk about stressful!

Upon arrival in UK they were splitting people in to two lines; one line had random PLF checks, the other went straight to passport control. I was in the latter and had no problems.

Jesus that's bad, I'd be on the phone with the citizens advice bureau first thing tomorrow.

If that's genuinely the case, then fair enough, but I'm sceptical our systems are that efficient. I went to Poland last August and had not filled in the passenger locator form when coming back and they waved me through then too.

 

[bluemc1]

Coming back in they wanted locator form and reference number of day 2 test

 

[Tbilisi]

Is anyone doing the day 2 test? Im struggling to get off work, what a scam that is

 

[Bozzie]

Apologies for being thick but, having blundered my way through to this stage I'd hate to fall at the final hurdle, so: Does "on or before" mean that, having returned on Sunday, I can take my Day 2 test today ie day 1 and don't have to wait until tomorrow?

It means take it Sunday , Monday or Tuesday.

Mine is not even getting here until Tuesday, they sent it Friday for delivery next working day even though I paid for it 10 day earlier. If I miss the Special Delivery it will have to wait another day.
