We can test you for COVID-19 and issue a certificate in time for your flight to ensure that you arrive smoothly at your destination. You should keep up to date with the Government’s advice about travel and find out about your destination’s requirements, including any countries you are passing through if you have a flight transfer. Please contact your airline and relevant authorities if you are unsure about their requirements.
You will receive your results within 24 to 48 hours of your sample’s arrival at the lab. If you require your results and certificate within a certain time frame, please make this clear. Your certificate will be emailed directly to you.
Once you have ordered your kit, you can come and pick it up from Granta Sawston (CB22 3HU) or we can post it out to you. The kit contains everything you need to take your sample correctly. You can then drop your sample back to Granta Sawston and we will do the rest – it’s as simple as that!
Once your sample has been analysed you will receive an email containing your pathology report detailing your results, along with your signed and dated Fit to Fly certificate.
At present, some airlines and destinations require testing and certificates to be issued within 48-96 hours of departure. Testing passengers prior to flying helps to reduce COVID-19 transmission during flight.
Travel regulations are subject to change. You should keep up to date with the Government’s advice about travel and find out about your destination’s requirements, including any countries you are passing through if you have a flight transfer. Please contact your airline and relevant authorities if you are unsure about their requirements.
The PCR swab test will determine whether you have an active coronavirus infection, even in asymptomatic cases (when you have no symptoms). The test is highly accurate at 99.9% with the correct sampling technique. Please ensure that you follow the sample collection instructions carefully.
The test costs £125.00 per person.
Please read the instructions carefully and follow the steps accordingly. You will be required to collect a sample from the back of your throat and inside your nostril with the same swab.
