This is quite a good one:

Enter code TIG20 at checkout for 20% off.
The full PCR test with certificate is Ł120 before discount.
You can order the test in advance, complete the test at home and mail it off. If you're traveling 26DEC then post it off 22DEC. You should get the results on 23/24DEC

I'm just going to wait a month or so, let it bed it and start looking at it again then as nothing appears joined up enough yet for my liking.......or my sanity.
Its both that need to see it. 2 pieces of legislation-
1. Spanish National Law requires a negative test shown at the airport for international arrivals from high risk countries.
2. Canarian Local Law requires a negative test shown at check in to hotels or regulated holiday lets from all tourists regardless of nationality (Canarian Residents and those who can demonstrate they have already been on the islands for 15 days are exempt).

Wife used MedicSpot the other day for Lanzarote.

They have "hub" chemists where you can get the test and hand it in by 2pm for a courier to collect.

They say result by 11pm next day guaranteed - she got her email at 21:30. Quick glance at the airport was on arrival and she was in!

Check it is a proper PCR and not a Lateral Flow .

"Spit in a tube" sounds like a Lateral Flow, and so not acceptable for Spain.

PCR usually involves sticking something down the back of your throat and up your nose.

Also hoping that will come true, scheduled to fly on 22nd of Dec. Can anybody recommend places for antigen tests in London/Bucks? Preferably done onsite, don't want to rely on post or courier. My main worry about PCR test, apart it being positive of course, is that I won't get the result on time.

To hedge my bets I booked both antigen and PCR test. According to Canarian Weekly, antigen tests might be accepted, but no earlier than 18th of Dec
Antigen with Doctap, unfortunately they don't do tests on weekends, so couldn't book PCR with them.
I saw Collinson is now providing PCR tests in STN, EMA and MAN. I booked in STN, but they don't have a calendar with available slots, instead you have to fill the form with your desired date and time of test. In return I got an email which said I'll be informed of my testing time 24h before the test. Has anyone used their services in STN yet and can share experience?
