As they are apparently not checking.. does that mean we no longer need tests etc... I have read about 5 different things and all say something different.

I'm planning on going to Iceland, then Sicily ( two trips not one after the other)

Not planning on going quite yet but... does anyone know

Even if we have decided to stop checking the countries you are visiting probably haven’t.

If I was travelling I’d be using the list what you need to leave / return to the UK, along with what is required to arrive / depart the country you visit.

I checked the government website.. and it doesnt seem to have changed but everywhere else it says it has. I know I need a test and my vaccine passport for most places I'm visiting. What I have been trying to find out is... if I am going for a 48 hour ish break... will one test cover me ???

This is a snippet from this page

‘ Taking your test in the UK before travel

If you are returning to the UK within 3 days, you can use the result of a COVID-19 test that you take in the UK before you travel. You must use a private test provider for the test and not an NHS test.

The service on which you will arrive back in the UK must set off for the UK within 3 days of when you took the test.’

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-for-people-travelling-to-england

So I’m not sure it will cover you, all depends on the date you do your outbound test

All you can do is check at the time on the official websites and verify things with your travelagent and airline etc... Our Country makes one set of rules but it is also up to the receiving country too (which the UK has no control of).

Have a look at Reopen EU. That site has up to date information about what is required when travelling to various countries

yeah other countries I've been keeping up to date with. But normally I go in a morning...stop over one or two nights and come back...

I also begrudge paying for another test when I already I'm tested numerous times per week.

Basically if you travel in times like this it's pot luck you takes your chances

Oh and don't moan and complain if where your going turns amber or red overnight

Oh get good insurance if they will cover you or pots full of cash

Oh good luck

A couple of points

Be selective on your choice of trst company, as many have complained about times of receiving results back. If your journey is short enough, 1 test should be enough, with a further 1 to cut short quarantine on your return, depending on the country and amber list status.

Hope you have wonderful trips

Not sure why you’re asking, if you’re not planning on travelling soon.

We all know things change quickly, sometimes overnight. What’s valid now will almost certainly change in a few days or a week and nobody knows what changes will be made.

If you’re determined to go, be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Then you won’t be disappointed.

Hopefully travelling in 2022. Waiting for things to calm down and make more sense. Even then it’s going to be weekend trips in Europe.
