Agreed. I'm impressed by their efforts regarding testing. They've created cheaper solutions while nobody else in the UK has, to my knowledge!

I was a bit confused as well about the pricing as the Randox advertises the price at Ł60. BA are saying that applying the code will give the 50% discount, so does mean Ł30? But the BA social media post says Ł60!
hmmm...what’s the deal here? I haven’t followed testing and costs closely as it’s a lot to keep up with and I don’t really need to until I fly again hopefully sometime this decade!

Now all I'm confused about is where the BBC and others got the Ł100 price from but that's unimportant!

The Ł60 cost excludes the cost of returning the sample. You need to arrange this yourself to one their centres or drop boxes or via a courier to their lab. Processing does not begin to the following day.
Depending on where you live, the process could be tricky. You get what you pay for I guess.

I just went on their website: the upfront price was Ł175, but when the BA coupon was applied (D2D8), it came down to Ł120. Which is in effect Ł60/kit. I think I will purchase, but I am scared by the general horror stories I read about late delivery and late results. We are travelling to UK because my 97 year old mother in law in sadly on her way out: and any delay in getting out of quarantine is going to hurt my wife badly. I really don't know how to choose a reliable provider - price isn't the sole criteria
