Hi all,
I've got to go to a wedding in Germany on Thursday. Back Sunday. Have worked most things out but struggling to understand the return test criteria. Basically the gov website says "you must take the test in the 3 days before you travel to England". Which is fine... except I arrive at 16:30ish on Thursday and depart at 17:30ish on Sunday. 3 days and 1 hour later.
I'm wondering if it's worth waiting an hour, then getting tested so I don't have to return to the airport to get a test the next day. The airport is only 30 mins from the wedding.
Thing is I can't work out if it's within three days of departing the country or within three days of arriving back in the UK. If the latter then I'd have to wait at the airport for three hours on Thursday which means I'd be better off popping back the next day...
Anybody got any experience? Where exactly do you present evidence of your negative test? At the departing airport or at the destination airport?
Thanks in advance!
