Check in time question (LHR T5)
I'm flying BA293 LHR-IAD next month. I've booked my LAMP test with Halo the morning of. Test is at 11:00, results are supposed to be in 90mins. Flight departure is 17:10, so assuming check-in around 14:10.
This will be my first flight since 2019, so I'm feeling a bit of practice with all the timing. Just so I stop double guessing myself, does this look reasonable to you all? (I do like to check in early and mooch around the terminal shops/lounge).
Thanks!

I think it's a silly move to pay for a lamp test at the airport if I'm being totally honest. Why didn't you just book a Qured test supervised by video link, simple rapid antigen, with a certificate emailed to you. you can do the test 1 day before flying to the USA.
However your expensive option should be ok, just more stress and more expense. Good luck

So many people I speak to get overly worried about at home video testing, but hey it's up to them if they want to waste their money, and complicate their check in. What pisses me off is the people who take ages at the check in counter by no being prepared.
