I'm hoping to travel to the Netherlands soon with my son for a long overdue catch up with our family. Looks like I need a PCR test taken within 24 hours before my flight.
Our flight is on a Sunday afternoon and I'm not sure where to go for this test that'll get me the results back in time in the weekend. Any of you forumites been abroad and had similar requirements? Where did you go for your test and did you get the results in time? Any pointers would be very much appreciated x |

"Boots Chemist. Results back in 24hrs. Booked an appointment and they administered the test"
Nearest Boots that does this is a 90 minute drive away  It'll be worth the journey though, if I can't find anything closer to us. Thanks x |

A company called Nationwide Pathology has test sites all over and they can do a 3hr test
A test within 24hrs of the flight is a bit short notice, lots are 72hrs
Also double check that it's 24hrs before the take off or landing time |

"I think for the Netherlands you need a PCR test within 48 hours or a rapid antigen test within 24 hours of departure"
You're right!! There are 2 different PCR tests, one of them has 48 hours deadline. Little bit of pressure off. Still a bit wary it's over the weekend, but an extra day will definitely help x |

The rapid antigen is usually a 40min turn around |
