easyJet and Boots have joined forces to make it easier for people to book their pre and post-travel COVID-19 tests for their flights this summer with kits starting from under £60 depending on what test the person needs.
The new partnership will enable customers to find information and book or order the necessary COVID-19 travel testing services required for their trip on the Boots COVID-19 testing hub, via easyJet.com while planning their holiday.
Following the restart of international leisure travel in the UK, easyJet customers will be able to book all the required tests needed both before and after their holiday, through Boots. The service will be going live on easyJet.com in the coming days.
Sophie Dekkers, Chief Commercial Officer for easyJet commented: “At easyJet 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.”
Customers can book the pre-departure In-store COVID-19 PCR Testing Service (£85), which is available at over 200 Boots stores and offers results the next day.
Alternatively, they can purchase an at-home self-swab COVID-19 PCR Test Kit (£65) from 500 stores or online via Boots.com to be delivered to their home, offering results from 24-48 hours from receipt of the sample at the lab.
Customers travelling to countries that accept antigen tests can book the In-Store COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing Service (£59.00), which provides same-day results and is available at 30 Boots stores.
Boots offers a Day 2 & 8 Post-Travel COVID-19 Testing Service for international arrivals into the UK and is also accredited as a test provider for the government’s Test to Release scheme, offering next day results for those wishing to reduce their home quarantine by taking a voluntary test on the fifth full day after arriving in England from a country on the ‘amber’ list.
With easyJet flights this summer serving customers up and down the UK from 18 airports, and with over 206 Boots stores offering testing services nationwide, easyJet customers will be able to book a trip with knowing that wherever they’re flying from, they will have convenient access to Boots UK COVID-19 testing services before and after their holiday.
