When should I order my test?
You can order your test kit at any time in advance. Please ensure that you order your PCR kit a minimum of 7-10 days before your flight. If you order your kit before 4pm Monday to Friday, we will send it to you on the same day and you will receive your kit the following day. You can choose to have your kit delivered by Special Delivery if you want to receive it the next day. If you purchase your test kit over the weekend, please take into consideration that this will add 1-2 additional days onto your delivery time.
Lateral Flow Test kits can be ordered two working days before your flight, but please select the Special Delivery option.
When should I take my PCR test to ensure I receive my certificate within my required time frame?
You should collect your PCR sample and post it to the laboratory the day before your time window begins. For example, if you are required to have a certificate dated within three days of your flight, please send your sample to the lab four days before you fly.
It is the patient's responsibility to ensure that their sample reaches the laboratory in time.
When should I take my Lateral Flow Test to ensure I receive my certificate in time?
Please check with your airline or destination country to see when your certificate needs to be dated. Please take your test within this timeframe. Simply upload a photo of your test and Photo ID to your Better2Know patient area (we provide the details when you buy your test). Your Fit 2 Fly Certificate will be ready within 60 minutes.
We can also accept photographs by email if this is easier for you.

What are the current Covid-19 travel regulations?
At present, some airlines and destinations require testing and certificates to be issued within 24-96 hours of departure. Testing all passengers prior to flying helps to reduce Covid-19 transmission during flight, and reduces the risk of infections being brought into your destination country.
Travel regulations are subject to change. You should keep up to date with the Government’s advice about travel and find out about your destination’s requirements, including any countries you are passing through if you have a flight transfer. Please contact your airline and the relevant authorities if you are unsure about their requirements.
How accurate is this test?
Our PCR swab test will determine whether you have an active coronavirus infection, even in asymptomatic cases (when you have no symptoms). This test is highly accurate at 99.9% with the correct sampling technique. Please ensure that you follow the sample collection instructions carefully.
Our Lateral Flow Rapid Tests are 99.5% accurate, CE marked and fully approved for use by the UK Government.
What should I do when I receive my PCR test kit?
Please read the instructions carefully and follow the steps accordingly. You will be required to collect a sample from the back of your throat and inside your nostril with the same swab.
You should then use the tracked, postage-paid envelope to send your sample to our laboratory for analysis.
What should I do when I receive my Lateral Flow Rapid test kit?
