The Heathrow test (according to their website) is only for travellers to Hong Kong.

I suspect you *must* get something to prove that you've tested negative (or positive) or else anyone could just rock up and say they're clear.

"Heathrow" and "useful paperwork" (certificates/hotel receipts) really don't go together.

Worth noting that the Heathrow test is not considered valid for Italy as you don’t get a certificate.

i.e. The Heathrow test is pointless.

Here it's about £150 for infection test and £100 for the antibody test. But the government (I.e. taxpayer) is paying.

If you find a budget flight, it could work out cheaper just to fly a round trip to Frankfurt in order to get tested.

Correct, not approved by the government yet probably because it still needs to be handed over to one of their mates

As long as you’re not a resident in breach of your UK Vodaphone contract.

Cost of Covid-19 Testing

Covid-19 testing seems to be yet another money making scheme for private companies in the UK and the same applies for most of Europe.

Heathrow Airport, £80
Vienna Airport 190é but Austria requires two tests within 72 hours.
Austria general 120é
Albania 100é
Romania 80é
Bulgaria free or 80é private
Greece 70é
France Free or £50é private
Serbia 8é yes only 8é
