Hi does anyone know if you can have a LAMP Test as offered by British Airways at London Terminals instead of the PCR Covid Test mentioned by the Spanish Authorities before flying to Spain? Government site doesn't mention it but BA says you can and other information is confliciting? Thank you all.

Spain requirement is a negative pcr test. It does not state any other. Ba might have better knowledge though. They are not going to fly passengers without their full confidence you are going to be let in.

Bit awkward to see this post as you put it under general property discussion.

Alex has put the PCR testing thread as a sticky so it comes up on there with all the details.
Can't see what's confusing about paragraph 1 on that as it comes direct from the Royal Decree and only the PCR will be accepted on arrival in Spain.

The British Airways advice says the LAMP test is only for certain countries and Spain isn't one of them.

Oh didn't realise that must have been looking at something else Marcliff apoloiges. Thanks for information.

Yes I read that but nothing about LAMP Tests. Since my post I have also just researched that Gatwick will be offering these PCR from the end of the month. Again personally not ideal for me, as it says they will be given in your car and I don't travel by car. Just getting more and more complex and as a friend said in Madrid, Spain making it more difficult as they don't want people to travel there, so I may have to just forget all plans now for Spain at the moment. It is not easy getting anywhere.

Think they were saying on previous postings that Boots were few and far between unless it was London where they are doing the test in more stores, there is a list somewhere if you can be asked to look.
