Another fail for me (2 for 2).
It's been almost 24 hours since I completed my documentation and got the "Ready to Travel", and over 18 hours since check-in opened for tonight's BA204 MCO/LHR and BA still say they have not verified my documentation so I can't check in.

BinaxNow test for UK trip
Has anyone successfully managed to have an eMed-verified BinaxNOW antigen test result accepted by VeriFLY, as a pre-departure test for travel to the UK? I am booked on BA194 IAH-LHR on Dec 14.
So far, I have had my CDC card accepted, but the test result has been rejected twice. I have tried both a screen shot of the emailed PDF report, as well as a saved image of the result/pass from the NAVICA app. The message states “The COVID-19 test result photographs/PDFs that were uploaded were not recognized as a valid COVID-19 test result. Please review the requirements and resubmit your test results.”
I read some earlier posts where some have had success after simply trying after two or three times, but I believe these may have been for journeys to the US. From what I read, these supervised antigen/LFT tests should be acceptable for travel to the UK. Would be grateful for any advice.

I uploaded the photo of the negative result to Klarity which produced an instant fit to fly certificate which satisfied VeriFly on the 9th of December for my flight from Las Vegas to Heathrow on the 10th of December.
Was simple enough and is a route I would chose to take again.

I used the non-eMed version of the BinaxNOW test (a two pack for $26 from walgreens) last week and had it accecpted by VeriFly in next to no time.

Yes, unfortunately BA was not grasping the problem and just saying if you follow the requirements you will be fine - when clearly many at LAS were not.
I hope they have spoken to the station manager now and set him/her straight. Also I would advice anyone out of pocket due to their error to claim it back from BA, and consider IDB if denied.

This is the offending sign and policy BA's ground agent at LAS has been following, rejecting any pre departure tests if done online or at home.
