Is It Too Late To Fly Today (Tuesday 1St March).?

[cleoval]

Hi My husband is flying with Air Lingus from Manchester to Dublin today 1st March. He went for a covid test yesterday Monday and it was negative, but they told him he should have had the test a few days ago on the 26th March on a saturday. My question is, should he risk going to the airport at Manchester to fly to Dublin.? Will they let him fly.? Thanks.

Your question doesn't make much sense to me!

If he's fully vaccinated, he simply needs his NHS Covid Pass:

If he's not fully vaccinated, he needs to show proof of a negative PCR test (not a lateral flow antigen one) taken within the 72 hour period prior to his flight. (See my first link above).

Either way, he needs to complete a Passenger Locator Form as well.

If he has had the jags but not the booster, he must have had the last jag within the past 270 days, as per the Irish government advice here,

He may be a victim of the ongoing farce.

I don't know why people ask these questions when the answers are soooo straightforward.

(Sorry, just being sarcastic, cleoval.)

Turn up and see if he can board, I often find these regulations are ignored or forgotten. But do the locator form.

Look's to me like there was just a misunderstanding by them or about what we're said at the test centre. The rules are as Buenchico said. Enjoy the trip...but do your plf on time

Of course his test must of been 26 Feb not 26 March. Maybe they forgot Feb has only 28 days

Oh I see ...test was Monday so thats fine. ....26th is the date he thinks they said he should of done it
