Travellers need to be cautious when choosing a Covid test provider before taking a trip.
Most countries currently insist on Covid tests before entry, along with other border control measures. The most common requirement is for passengers to have the rigorous and expensive PCR test.
British Airways’ website links to four different test providers, which provide a discount to its customers for tests that show you’re ‘Fit to Fly’.
One, from a company called Halo Verify, costs £89 if you book it direct, but that price goes down to £75 if you use BA’s discount code.
That compares with rates from £93 to £166 from the other companies that BA highlights. The other companies’ tests also all require you to use the, often uncomfortable, nose and throat swabs.
