I don’t think that would work - 65 hours prior would be 8.30pm and Boots (who I have booked the test with) finish their appointments at lunchtime - presumably to get the samples to the lab on time. I live in a rural area of the UK so have very limited options.

I’ve had conflicting info from BA on this - one source (BA Twitter) has said that it’s 3 days rather than a hard 72 hours so I should be fine but when I phoned BA this morning they couldn’t confirm the details. They said I had to contact the country (Greece) government to obtain that information and said there was a likelihood that I would be denied boarding even though the test would be taken only 20 minutes outside the 72 hour window.

I have now managed to get the last Boots appointment of the day which is 40 minutes later than my original appointment. This means that my test will now be 71 hours & 40 minutes before my scheduled arrival so should be okay (& I should receive my results 48 hours after the test time).

What’s particularly annoying is that my husband is fine as he has been double vaccinated so doesn’t need a test. I have also been double vaccinated but my 2nd vaccine was 12 days before travel so doesn’t qualify. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well on the day - I retired from work 2 weeks ago as part of a plan to spend the next couple of years travelling whilst we can (my husband has been diagnosed with MS and we want to travel whilst we can without too many complications).
