Depends upon what you mean by all flights. BA is operating SEZ 2x per week.

It looks like its only October and the 2nd of November where BA are deviating from their normal schedule (thou its still the regular 2 flights per week) .
Rather than a quick turnaround on the Sunday, they are overnighting and flying Monday instead. Slightly annoying with school/work etc but no where as bad as cancelling (for us anyway).

Be grateful if you do let us know how you get on. Was thinking of finding somewhere who would time stamp on the Thursday and take the text just before they close, so opposite strategy to you!
Privatecoronavirustests

4 tests taken
All taken Monday 12th at 10am.
1st test back Tuesday 5pm (ahead of schedule!)
2nd test back Tuesday 5.10pm (ahead of schedule!)

There was a slight error - both were missing passport info, but a phone call (15mins on hold) fixed this.

Still waiting for 2 tests, but so far so good, the say results back from 6pm till 12pm... so still have a potential 6 hours wait, but so far so good,

I hope we are safe to assume your remaining two tests arrived at some point overnight and you are now busy packing or en route to the airport!

Safe travels!

I have emailed someone at the government health department in the Seychelles, who confirmed that the test only needs to show the date of the test, not the time.
Hopefully this helps those of us with evening flights.

If only. We should be on this flight but a Covid rest within 48 hours is not possible in our location. Is anyone outside London managing this?

Can be done at Manchester (Multiple companies) and Leeds (VIVO Clinic). Seems there are loads of other VIVO clinics across the country that offer this service.

Hi from the lovely Seychelles, unfortunately our tests didn't arrive on time, we had to resort to a 24h (£350) backup plan... needless to say i can not recommend the other clinic anymore.. all and all very very stressful and expensive...
We have just had our tests taken here in the Seychelles, and will get those results back tomorrow... zero stress, they came to our villa, costs nothing and will have result tomorrow...

Good to hear you made it. Where did you take the backup test? 350GBP pounds is quite something though... and here I was thinking BA fuel surcharges were expensive

Hi - I would love to know where you got a one day test - has anyone else managed this outside London?
