Their IT systems are terrible, and completely impossible to contact them to fix it.
I have fed back to BAEC about Collinson and whether they are fit for purpose, and BA are investigating. (Well that’s what they told me)

... although... we had come to LHR expecting problems with Collinsons - but we didn't have any on the day. The key thing is that you can roll it into your trip on the day, rather than having to a separate trip to get the test done (and it's 'cheap' too at 50UKP each).
