Why not take a free HUS test, available 7 days a week, with results in by next morning? Works fine for DXB, too, done it several times now.

Is it still a thing? I thought that whole free testing is mostly stopped as useless from an epidemiology point of view.

Im not from HUS area and can't book appointment for a free HUS test and relying solely on having the test made on saturday and receiving the results on sunday before my flight is a bit gamble anyways.

Via Funentry they're available to everyone.

I don't find it useless at all. Saved me a bunch of euros on my recent trip to ZNZ.

This was first hand experience, not via Finentry though. Tried to get test for real symptoms, not for travel purpose but got denied.

Btw does one need to be coming from other country to book via Finentry (in practice) ?

Somehow I doubt that your trip to ZNZ and the related HUS test had much to do with the epidemic situation in Finland

There is a Juneyao plane next to mine on the deicing platform right now. At HEL. Not visible on airport monitors. Where is it flying to? Apparently not a scheduled flight.

Thanks, must be cargo only to PVG then. Maybe they fly via Russia.
