I am after some advice please on the type of test I need to do the day before I travel to the USA for work and was wondering if anybody had completed theirs or booked a test in the near future. What type and where it can be done the day before and the results known before flying to the States the next day (12 noon)?
I am arguing with my colleague that a LFT will be sufficient so we could use Teesside Airport testing but he is saying that a PCR Test is required with a 24 hr turnaround.
The problem with Teesside Airport Testing for the PCR test is that they use the 17:00 cut off the day before as the start time and not 24 hours from the test time. This means that we probably wont get the results until after noon the next day and will therefore not be able to travel.
Any advice based on recent experience of flying to the States would be most appreciated as our HR Team told us to check the website and we cannot agree on the answer?
Thanks in advance
