Brittany Ferries are contemplating starting a new route from Plymouth to Porto. It could help some get around the travel restrictions but I’m not sure I’d fancy a 30 hour crossing!

Thanks, Wherenext.
We could have saved a lot of money by travelling on City’s free day trip flight, the cheapest match tickets are £60, and the biggest cost would have been the PCR COVID-19 test, but we’d have only needed one + the day 2 DIY test.
In my student days, I would definitely have gone for that option, but at my age, just the thought of it tires me out. 😱

The tests have to be booked in advance and the booking reference submitted with all the other test results / passenger location declaration etc before being allowed to return to the UK.
There’s a lot of ambiguous info out there on various websites, so I’m not surprised there are long queues at airports, it’s not obvious (to me, anyway) exactly what is needed. The NHS lateral flow tests are not valid for travel purposes as far as I can make out.We fly out to Porto on Friday morning. The PCR test results for entry to Portugal can take 48 hours, so we’ve booked the tests for Tuesday afternoon.
We’ll need another PCR test for entry to the stadium on Saturday evening, and that will also cover us for our return to the UK, on Sunday afternoon.
What a palaver. 😱
