Subject: BA Holiday - positive covid test shortly before departure

 

We booked a BA holiday on 3 March for a departure next week on 23 March for 2 of us. I tested positive a couple of days ago (just using the NHS home test LFT kits) on the 14th and am hoping to get the all-clear before the 23rd (not guaranteed of course). Mrs Fruitcage is currently testing negative but clearly there is a high risk of her testing positive at some point in the next few days, with no time to complete the day 5/6 negative tests before departure date. So I've been reading the BA policy on issuing a voucher in case of a positive test within 14 days of departure, which seems quite reasonable except that they will not accept the NHS LFT results as proof of a positive test. What has anyone else done in this situation? Do BA really want us to go out to a private testing clinic when we know we are Covid positive? If I try to get a postal supervised test, exactly which flavour of test would I purchase? Fit to fly maybe? Thanks for any advice on how to handle the uncertainty and give us the best chance of claiming a voucher if one or both of us is positive in the last day or 2 before departure.
