EasyJet and Boots Collaborates for Covid Tests

Covid-19 testing kits are available from EasyJet and Boots for less than £60.

Passengers will be able to schedule all of their mandatory tests both before and after their vacation at a local chemist.

According to EasyJet, the service will be available on easyJet.com in the coming days, following the resumption of international travel from the UK.

Customers can book pre-departure In-store PCR testing for £85 at over 200 Boots locations, with results available the next day.

An at-home self-swab PCR test kit costs £65 and can be ordered from 500 stores or online at Boots.com, with results available within 24-48 hours after receiving the sample.

Customers traveling to countries that allow antigen tests can book the £59 in-store rapid antigen testing service, which offers same-day results and is accessible at 30 Boots locations.

For international arrivals into the UK, Boots offers a day 2 and 8 post-travel Covid testing service.

It is also a government-approved test provider for the government’s Test to Release program, which provides same-day results for those who take a voluntary test on the fifth full day after arriving in England from a country on the “amber” list and desire to minimize their home quarantine.

This summer, EasyJet will operate flights from 18 airports, and more than 206 Boots stores will provide testing services across the country.

Asif Aziz, the director of Boots’ healthcare service, said: “This new partnership between Boots and easyJet is designed to make lives easier for people who are traveling abroad this summer.

“We are proud of our Covid-19 travel testing offer, which provides a range of options to customers, available online and in our stores.

“We plan to work closely with easyJet in the coming weeks and months to help their passengers navigate the requirements around Covid-19 testing for passengers and provide competitively-priced solutions.”

Sophie Dekkers, the airline’s chief commercial officer said: “We’re focussed on ensuring travel is easy and accessible for all and that is especially important this summer. We’re delighted to be partnering with Boots to provide customers with more direct access to trusted testing services, making it easier to travel with us this summer.”
