This.

I flew last Friday ATL-LHR-FAO. I had done Verifly for the sector to LHR but I needed to upload docs for Portugal in order to OLCI for LHR-FAO. I uploaded Thursday evening for the Friday evening flight and by check-in time had still not had a response. The check-in agent took about 20 minutes to verify the documents, which were all in order and issue boarding passes. Strangely, whilst in the lounge at Atlanta, 20 minutes before boarding, I did receive a response. The message was that my Covid test had an invalid date because it must be a maximum of 48 hours before departure. Whoever examined the document did not realise that in the USA, January 7th 2022 would be written 1/7/22. Basic mistake. I won't be using this service any more as it feels unreliable.
