    UK-US travel, 2021/2022

    Thank you, yes we did. We just went with a local urgent care center because it was convenient and the nurse we spoke to on the phone was the same one who did the tests for them and she was so sweet with them. It became a case of willingness on our part to pay for the convenience and reduce...

    UK-US travel, 2021/2022

    Any place that does testing here will do testing for tourists. The only difference is what they will charge you. I called seven different places, including CVS, Walgreens, Advent Health, Orlando Health and a few others. All gave the same question and answer when I asked for the cost. Are you...

    UK-US travel, 2021/2022

    I believe they are legit. I called them today although they are fully booked until after my parents leave. However they do have a link to the CDC website where their reg number is. Yes, lots of places to the rapid test (we are in Florida). I also called CVS as well. The issue for us isn’t the...

    The price is still Waaay better. Because these folks don’t take insurance. They are fully booked through December 15th but this is actually helpful because I’m going to try places that don’t take medical insurance. Thank you again 🙏

    UK-US travel, 2021/2022

    Anyone presently in the US and affected by the new departure test rules? I’ve called SEVEN places and the cheapest Rapid Test is $139 pp Most places are charging $189-$200 )I noticed that they were all keen to point out that out of pocket costs to US citizens is a fraction of the above). My...

    will connecting time increase in American arrival airport due to covid requirements?

    :rotfl2: Clearly you have no idea how big the airport is 🤣 got to love autocorrect!! it’s been years since I did international and cleared passports etc at MCO and I also stopped using MCO for the same reason. It always seemed like so many international flights landed around the same time and...

    will connecting time increase in American arrival airport due to covid requirements?

    Thank you, Yes!! Phew! So it turned out that they were very impressed with ATL! They said it was a lot of walking and very busy at immigration and customs but lots of staff and the line just kept moving so it was a continuously moving line. It took them almost 90 months from off the plane at...

    will connecting time increase in American arrival airport due to covid requirements?

    PS I spent all day on the phone on Monday trying to get a concierge service but with /since covid the US airports aren’t allowing them until after security and BA refused as they don’t have a medical disability. They wanted $725 to meet them outside customs and escort them to check in. We would...

    will connecting time increase in American arrival airport due to covid requirements?

    yeah, seriously ... you can’t make this stuff up! I’m guessing they continued the rolling cancellations even after the announcement of the borders opening until an official date was announced. Apparently their flight to MCO was canceled. The problem was BA didn’t notify them if the change. My...

    Hi Scotty, Did you get to MCO OK? My parents also used VeriFLY for their tests.I am not sure if they will have an app but I know they have printed out some forms from they have to sign and present. Did you use an app or paper?

    will connecting time increase in American arrival airport due to covid requirements?

    My parents are coming over tomorrow (finally two years after booking!) They are flying into Atlanta and then coming through to Orlando. I'll let you know what they report as far as lines and immigration etc. They didn't actually choose that airport. They had flights direct to MCO but BA...

    Sharing food knowledge U.K./US

    Watch out for fish too. Some of the fish are called by different names. I know some is called flounder and there’s another, the name of which escapes me right now. also know that when you buy or order a shepherds pie that you’re getting beef in it. There’s been a recent fad with restaurants...

    August 2021! Will the US let us in???

    Thanks. We hadn't really looked at the option of going that side until now because like all you guys, we've been waiting for the borders to open on this side to UK/EU travel. There's still the quarantine issue though and that's difficult for us as my husband can't afford to just close up shop...

    August 2021! Will the US let us in???

    Apparently so - at least when our neighbors recently checked. The lady across the road from us flew out to the UK last week. She had one heck of a time trying to find flights and couldn't fly out of Orlando as there were no flights available when she tried to book them. They eventually had to...

    August 2021 - will I be going ?

    I feel your pain! We are in a similarly frustrating situation. My parents were supposed to come over from the UK for daughter's graduation in May last year and obviously it's all up in the air for everyone. I have dual citizenship so tecnhically I could go visit them, but hubby only has US...
