Our taxi arrived early so thought we'd have to wait ages for check in to open but was pleasantly surprised to find it available with around 2.5 hrs to go. This meant the queue wasn't long but it was still slowish owing to the document fumble - we were the only Veriflyers upto that point. As said it was gratefully received.

I have a SEA-LHR-Portugal flight and Verifly seems to have found my BA trip only to LHR and it allow me to upload stuff now. I wonder if they'll accept if I upload the documents through Portugal. Both Portugal and LHR require the antigen test but I'll also do two passenger locator forms. Hope it works.
Since I already can select seats only at check in (which is 24 hours before departure) it'd be worse if I had to wait until I'm at the airport to do that.

BA does not support Verifly for a trip to Spain from the UK. They do support the reverse direction if you have a return.
check the 2nd table in note 421 for the BA list of supported destination countries

just checked in the first zone at JFK and when i pulled up verifly the agent was like "oh wow good" lol. she didnt check anything else for the JFK-LHR leg and i had to separately pull up my greece PLF for the LHR-ATH portions but it was a piece of cake really.

Asked over at AA site, but I'll try here as well. I'm flying DFW>LHR>WAW on 7 OCT. Verifly is not yet showing new (post 4 OCT) rules for my departure date. Does anyone know if VeriFly will require proof of 2nd day test purchase in order to pass me for the DFW>LHR leg or will it recognize I am a transit passenger and not require it?

VeriFLY still asking for covid test for a flight leaving 3 October and landing to UK on 4 October after rules change. Sacking it off and sorting at the airport as I can’t be bothered with the hassle. Attempted for the outbound when BA said to use the app but the app said it wasn’t a supported route. When it works, it’s good but seems there’s issues at times

I was able to OLCI 24 hours in advance to Portugal through LHR airside. Used ba.com for Portugal's documents and Verifly to LHR. Verifly was all green quickly with two passengers and ba.com took hours. But it eventually approved the docs and I was in.

Anyone had issues with the Collinsons QR code on the Verifly app. Tried to upload the results using the approved supplier section (of which Collinson is one of the approved suppliers) - returned a 'Invalid QR code'. There's only one QR code on the certificate.
Ended up submitting manually and it was approved within 60 secs.

Found it to be totally pointless. BA sends email to use Verifly. Not the most straightforward App but figure it out and get green tix for all pax >24hr before flight (EU flight). Still can’t OLCI. At F check-in agent asks “what did you show me was that a Covid test?”.
Have the same recommendation for return sector but Verifly incorrectly says need pre-departure test from Green country and flight is after 4am Oct 4.
I also don’t understand why Apps/forms ask you to scan QR codes because inevitably you’ve used the phone to fill the form and iPhone can’t scan itself (as far as I’m aware?).

If anyone can think of a solution to make the app work, do say!
