Discounted Covid tests offered to Heathrow passengers

A discounted Covid-19 home testing service has been introduced for Heathrow passengers.

Prices start at £35.10 with the use of promotional code for a ten per cent discount offered by government-listed home testing provider Qured.

Portable rapid antigen test kits can be ordered to any UK address and taken abroad.

Test results are supervised and verified within two hours by a certified health advisor, in line with UK Government requirements.

Qured also offers PCR tests at discounted prices starting at £62.10 and aims to provide results within 24 hours.

The PCR kits can be used to comply with the government’s post-arrival requirements for testing on day 2 and day 8.

The discounted rate only applies to Heathrow passengers ordering home kits.

But Qured does not offer on-site testing at the airport.

Heathrow process improvement director Mark Burgess said: “As more people begin to travel, we’re working hard to ensure there are affordable and simple Covid testing options for Heathrow passengers.

“We’re delighted to add another offering through a new partnership with testing provider Qured. Their low-cost and easy-to-use test kits will make a big difference to those looking to get away this summer, especially now that all Heathrow passengers will get an additional 10% discount.”

Qured chief executive Alex Templeton said: “The technology used for testing has come an incredibly long way in a very short space of time.

“The process of taking a test is much easier than six months ago, making the experience less daunting for those travelling. Results are also available much quicker than ever before.

“We look forward to delivering an exceptional experience to Heathrow’s passengers and to work with them as travel continues to open up, enabling people to reunite with loved ones, and to reconnect with colleagues and clients for the first time in a long time.”
