The purpose of this thread is outlined in the first post; "I was thinking it might be helpful for any of us going to the islands to share our experiences getting tested.
... I'm curious to hear about others getting tested by airlines, at airports, etc. and being able to get the test done within the correct time frame. Monday/Tuesday departures seem particularly challenging due to the weekend within the 72-hour period."
Please limit posts to ones directly related to the above; general "does this test qualify?" and "where can I get tested?" questions are best asked (and answered) in the master thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hawaii/2013922-covid-19-10-day-arrivals-quarantine-pre-post-arrival-test-out-policies.html
Q. Are the COVID tests for leisure travel to Hawaii covered by medical insurance?
A. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/coronavirus-travel/2011906-covid-19-travel-medical-insurance.html
FYI-Flight delays don’t count against the T-72 cutoff, they go by the original scheduled departure time not the delayed departure time.

But I'm told that there's now a Walgreens in Bellevue doing ID Now, so if I needed the test now, I would have just gone there.

No, I uploaded the regular one.
Thank you, that is what I did.
My husband called and was told we have to bring the printed form. This gets reviewed in Hawaii, not before boarding. I had hoped to get thru arrival matters easily and be on our way to pick up our rental car. It appears that will not be possible.

Are their really two different PDFs and two different upload options? Which combination of PDFs/upload option is correct for this Walgreens test?
Many thanks for helping to clarify.

I took my Walgreens test today, and am anticipating getting the results tomorrow. As I understand it, there will be two PDFs, which have been described as Easy to Read and Provider Test. I’m also reading above that the Safe Travels website has two options, Hawaii Standard and Provider Forum.

Yes, as I have explained in two different threads, use the lab .pdf and upload choosing provider form. It seems you don’t want to believe me for some reason but I have done this many times, as recently as five days ago and have explained here https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33298613-post1947.html and here https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33298599-post659.html.
This Walgreens option is free, but much less intuitive than the Mychart results when I took my first flight a month ago.

Orange County CA cheapest test
Hi.
I have been using Hoag urgent care in OC for testing but it turned out so expensive, $120 charged by Hoag and $150 bill from Westpac labs. Anyone knows cheaper test in Oc?

Walgreens site list expected turnaround times. Definitely should take it 3 days prior for a PCR and hopeful get results the next evening.
