Flying to India
Hello , we are planning a trip in March and if I read in the travel requirements than some passengers are randomly picked out to undergo a Covid Test.
Do some of you have experience with this. We are both vaccinated with boosters but you never know.

It looks like the policy has only been in effect for the last week or two. Sounds like a random selection of 2%. It's not clear whether that's 2% per flight or some other sampling method. You may have more success posting this in a forum related to India. Given the recent implementation, a subset of BA fliers traveling to India and the 2% subset of that, I doubt you will receive many responses here with any direct experience.
