I now have my negative Covid Test Certificate 
and was so excited but then I tried to add this to my verify trip.
I am flying EDI- LHR-CPT on 27th Jan leaving Edinburgh at 16.20 and then LHR at 21.40
My verify trip shows only my LHR-CPT flight and so it is expecting a PCR test 72 hours before 21.40 but the rules are actually 72 hours before my flight at 16.20 which my test complies with.
The system won't let me inout the PCR for review when I put the time of the test into the app
Am I doing something wrong or will Verify not work if your first BA flight is a domestic connection?
Thanks for any guidance

No, and though VeriFLY does work with domestic connections, the process centres on the flight that takes you to SA, so it doesn't know about the domestic connection timings. If your PCR was timed to be OK from a London end it would be fine. So I suspect you will have to check-in at the airport. Obviously give it another go, but this is a level of complexity too far for VeriFLY in its current format.

Unfortunately as the CPT flight is at 21.40 there was nothing open for in person testing yesterday evening after this time and I didn't want to wait until this morning to get my PCR test.

You can just present your USA paperwork in AMS if you prefer, since if you are staying airside there are no UK requirements. And / or you can just do LHR-IAD only on Verifly and show that at AMS. AMS will know about the UK situation. I guess you could also do AMS-LHR but that will make you do a PLF, which for transit passengers is fairly quick to do, albeit unnecessary, and for some locations may be worth doing to shut off discussions. This may make it more likely for OLCI to work. But AMS isn't somewhere where there would be a discussion. Overall I guess it depends on whether you have any bags to check in. You have to get a passport scan somewhere down the line, and that's a pre-Covid requirement.

CDG-LHR OLCI not possible despite Verifly Green
Just a data point. Last week it was fine and OLCI possible and this week it is not.
On the upside the interim schedules mean that I am taking the midday flights and have been very pleasantly surprised by the AA Lounge which closes at 3pm!

I have a trip to the US on Saturday the 29th. Tried to begin to upload some documents to VeriFLY and after entering the initial flight and personal details I get the error message -
Unable to save.
Please ensure you have an existing pass that contains the "Confident Traveler - USA" - "Passenger Details" requirement.
Which is odd as I am entering the details into the "Confident Traveler - USA" option
Anyone seen this? Any proposed resolution?
I have previously used VeriFLY successfully in recent months for Denmark and Spain, not the US though (not sure if this is a factor?)

This was not a timing issue. The error message remained all through to yesterday. Upon which I contacted VeriFLY who advised to delete the app, reinstall and recover your account, and start again.
it works fine now
