Going to be fun trying to print off the Portugal passenger locator card for those of us booked on Spike’s trip as we won’t know our seat numbers until after we’ve checked in on Friday!
 
You will also be required to present a valid passport for travel to Portugal (your passport must have at least 6 months left on it and be less than 10 years old). In addition, the passport details must match the passenger information you submitted during the booking process.
I thought I was ok as my passport has 11 months left and is less than 10 years old but as I renewed early (and 9 months extra validity was added) the additional months don’t count towards the 6 months remaining. This means my passport isn’t valid for travel to the EU after February 2021. Having to collect a new one in Liverpool on Thursday morning but I’m really worried as I can’t give new passport details to the club or the travel provider until then!

Might be worth checking if you renewed early about 10 years ago.

Nope, you don't need to change it.

Should be after 1pm so the club say
 
Out of sheer frustration I've booked the Blind Spot test. If we get a definitive (positive) answer to the '72 hours/3 day' conundrum I'll take it Thursday morning, if not, it'll be Friday and,if I don't get the results back in time, fuck it, I'll watch it on the telly.
