Negative Tests for Tourists ?

[Johnrgby]

I would have thought that the flights from the UK, are only to take people back as it is illegal to travel abroad from there other than for work. or am I wromg?

Yes I have seen them, but I am still pretty sure you cannot fly from the UK unless it is work related

It is not currently illegal to fly from Scotland...although I think this may well change on a Tuesday.

There are a number of flights arriving today from the UK and other European countries.  I wonder how the checking of having this test has gone on.  If anyone has any feedback please write it to this board.

The need to have a negative test is from 23rd Nov. Wouldn't expect any feedback before that date. 🗓️🤔

"As of Saturday 14th November, all tourists entering the Canary Islands and staying in regulated or designated holiday accommodation are required to bring a negative PCR test with them for entry to their accommodation."

Yes that’s correct but it was added to by the Spanish Government from 23rd. So before as an owner i could come without a test now i can’t therefore tourism will be in full demise. I looked around for a PCR test the cheapest being Boots but they do not do it at all branches the rest were between £200 and £400 totally unaffordable for a family who then may not be able to go so nobody will book if they have any sense. The rapid test is not PCR as far as i can see so this is no answer at the moment, this will be the answer if it is accepted in the future. Depressed!!!!

i will have to wait for Mr Ryanair to do the same then, i am sure he will need to get on the bandwagon to compete

Someone we know arrived in Corralejo yesterday from Ireland without a test. She went to Clinica Brisamar for a test (the up your nose one) and it cost 40€. She's now sitting by the pool.

I can just imagine them bringing the trolley down through the plane.

Even better: scratch card to win a free COVID test!

For clarity my understanding is that -

From the 14th to the 22nd if your are staying in registered accommodation in the Canaries you need a negative test either taken up to 72hrs before you arrive or are tested on arrival and if that test  is not negative you then have to self isolate in a place the authorities designate.

From the 23rd ANYONE arriving anywhere in Spain from a designated HIGH RISK (RED) place of origin has to have a negative test taken in the 72hours prior to arrival.

Happy to be corrected if that is not the case.
