Youngest son headed to Spain today for a lads holiday, a worry in itself smile

He took a Covid test to fly yesterday at 3pm, LFT, which has to be within 24 hours of departure.

He was supposed to take off this morning but now delayed until midday......so far.

So if it gets delayed further it's going to get close to if not over the test taken 24 hours prior.

This must have happened to many due to the delays this summer, any ideas?

I mean he's not going to be checked boarding the plane but if it leaves after 3pm and once checked in Spain, what happens then?

Cheers, a worried father.

Still in place for un-vaccinated, was surprised when I read it the other day.

Yep he's unvaccinated and was the most non socially distanced throughout smile

Out everyday, hanging about with all sorts.

Only one in the family that hasn't caught the lurgy so far.

His plane took off at midday and was through Spanish customs very quickly, cheers.
