Sorry , sailing from Caen France.From where?
Excellent thank you very much , I can get that done locally tomorrow I have the 2 day test booked and received the required number .Unless it's changed and I hadn't heard, a negative LFT is acceptable for your return boarding.
On return from France recently we got this at a local pharmacy for €25. Results while you wait and all the required paperwork/QR codes too.
Sadly you still need the get the expensive PCR test booked for Day 2 of your return....

We've got C19 tests with us too in case we have symptoms, but I think the ferries want formal paperwork?Ordered the C19 tests in the UK before we left and took them with us.
When you do the C19 test you send off a photo of of the negative test with your passport, C19 send you a certificate by email with the required barcode, if the ferry company needs to scan it.We've got C19 tests with us too in case we have symptoms, but I think the ferries want formal paperwork?

Are we talking about the "NHS Covid-19 Self-Test (Rapid Antigen Test)" which is the title on the box, or the company C19, who supply a private test you have to buy?When you do the C19 test you send off a photo of of the negative test with your passport, C19 send you a certificate by email with the required barcode, if the ferry company needs to scan it.
Opposite Tourist Information in Caen is a large chemist that charge 25 euros for antigen test.Result and certificate in half an hour.50 yds from the castle.BUSBY.Where did you get the test done with paperwork ? We travel back 30th from Caen.

That’s not true - I’ve been back to the U.K. for a trip back for a reunion and had the 48hour test through Dante Labs prebooked - it wasn’t a PCR test and was accepted for the U.K. passenger location form and subsequently!Unless it's changed and I hadn't heard, a negative LFT is acceptable for your return boarding.

The Cerulean C19 Rapid Antigen test you have to buy £29.00 ours was from the Co Op pharmacy.Are we talking about the "NHS Covid-19 Self-Test (Rapid Antigen Test)" which is the title on the box, or the company C19, who supply a private test you have to buy?
This is getting more confusing by the minute!

Always been just an antigen test to enter UK.BUSBY.,,hasn't it.That’s not true - I’ve been back to the U.K. for a trip back for a reunion and had the 48hour test through Dante Labs prebooked - it wasn’t a PCR test and was accepted for the U.K. passenger location form and subsequently!
Are you confusing the re-entry test with the day 2 test? The rules still state a PCR is required for day 2 (hopefully soon to change...), but if you can buy a cheaper LFT AND get the necessary code for the PLF it's good news all round. I have toyed with trying that but assumed the supplying lab wont give you the PLF code for a lateral flow test.That’s not true - I’ve been back to the U.K. for a trip back for a reunion and had the 48hour test through Dante Labs prebooked - it wasn’t a PCR test and was accepted for the U.K. passenger location form and subsequently

Others on Fun have said they buy the cheapest possible and don't care if the test is ever recorded as they just need the code for the form. I reckon it's a safe bet as I can't see Track and Trace ever checking if you do the post-arrival tests, let alone what the results are. Equally I would bet my mortgage that the border checkers don't investigate the details of your form, they just want to see you have it and it looks vaguely complete.

Indeed so. I don't suppose they care two hoots as you'll soon be gone, on the ferry, train (or a rubber dinghy).Equally I would bet my mortgage that the border checkers don't investigate the details of your form, they just want to see you have it and it looks vaguely complete.
Right for everyone that was a little worried about all this don’t , just checked in no problem . A screen shot of the emails is all you needWe have just arrived at the docks,early as usual. I have the COVID test and think I have downloaded the PLF and my vaccinations certificate ,I have downloaded everything and took a screenshot of each form. Still a little worried about whether that is enough so I wandered into the Brittany ferries office and asked for help . The young lady was very helpful looked at my phone and in a very French way shrugged her shoulders that all was fine . The check I opens at 7 pm so as they time will tell
