Have you seen which Rapid tests are allowed? I'm going to Serbia first... think I can bring an Abbott BinaxNOW™ Ag monitored kit and show them that form for entry from Belgrade to Athens?

My favorite this... and this goes with every country... is the use of " issued by an authorized laboratory" but there is never information about what laboratories are considered authorized
I guess I will take the chance with my supervised Abbott self test

No I didn't, BA probably hadn't updated their systems to require a test, I only uploaded the Vacc certificate and PLF and it was enough to issue a boarding pass. Must have slipped through the hoops, I flew on Sunday so the first day of the new regime.
I had a PDF of my rapid test result on my phone just in case, but was never asked it.

By the way, I flew ATH-ZRH yesterday and a policeman was waiting for as at deplaning. I was first out, it took me about one minute to find the PCR test result in my phone (he didn't want the printout), then about 2 minutes to locate my PLF (during which time he looked at my wife's certs, plus another 3 passengers') and then he turned to me, stopped my searching the phone and said "OK, now you can go"!
