Am I on the right thread?

Might be worth starting a new thread with this info.Maybe this will help fellow blue travellers.
Requirements for travel to Portugal as far as I understand it.
1. Private paid for PCR test taken within 72 hours of flight departure time (Portugal rule)
2. Private PCR or LFT test taken within three days of return flight to UK. Porto airport does LFT tests with 30 mins results. If you travel out within three days of your outbound test (i.e. Test Thursday, Fri or Sat, return Sunday) you can use the outbound test for the return.(UK rules)
3. Private PCR test pre booked before leaving for Portugal to be taken before day 2 after arrival back in UK, proof of test retained to show at border control. (UK rules)
4. https://portugalcleanandsafe.pt/en/passenger-locator-card, to be completed online after check in.
5. https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk, to be completed on line in the 48 hours before leaving for the UK.
Temperature screening will take place on arrival in Portugal.
I think that's all I know for now.
Apologies, I see where some are getting the 72 hours from now. Those taking a test on Tuesday for a Friday flight may not be able to board under the portuguese ruleMaybe this will help fellow blue travellers.

I wasn't aware of number 4. Just clicked on the link and it doesn't work. Not sure how this works with Spike's trip. Does anyone know if they organise check in in the days leading up to the trip, hence why we had to input our passport details at the time of booking? Meaning we can fill out the passenger locator card, say, the day before we fly out?Maybe this will help fellow blue travellers.

I’ve clicked on the link and it works for me on my phone. Just checked and it works on my lap top as well.I wasn't aware of number 4. Just clicked on the link and it doesn't work.

Christ. It’s not 72 hours. It’s just in the three days prior. I feel I MAY have posted this before (like further up this actual page)
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.
- you’ve been vaccinated
- you’re traveling from a country or territory on the green list
- you’re a UK citizen
For example, if you travel directly to England on Friday, you must take the test on the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
