Does it seem viable to use the Day 2 test as the US return test? (I’ll only be there Thursday to Monday, so a test on Saturday satisfies both requirements, if there’s no other catch.)
I used Randox because of social proof and price. Randox was listed by British Airways on this website was the cheapest on that website.
I don’t recommend using Day 2 tests for the return trip. Day 2 tests have to be mailed back to the lab. So it takes some days to get results. For the return flight, you need results back before you fly. So I would worry that I might not get results back in time for my flight.
I don’t know if this is right but this is what I did:
I ordered 2x Randox Day 2 tests. I’m staying 6 days and I will try to use one test as my Day 2 and the other as the pre test to return to Canada. My guess is that the “Official Date” of the test is determined by online registration, so I can use the tests this way and take it at the required dates.
It seems like I can speak to others/authorities during my trip, so a mistake on the preflight return test is not too costly.
I choose Randox because of this post, because I saw it positively mentioned on some random Reddit post, and because the site looks legit, with detailed information (e.g. 1-2 pages with “common mistakes” and instructions).
This is great!
Why the Randox test in particular?
