Same day Covid testing at Heathrow to enter US

Has anyone used ExpressTest at Heathrow that can share their experience? What time would you suggest scheduling for a 4:30pm departure?

Yes and they are great, nothing more to say. They do their job. What time are you checking in? Work backwards from that, how long does it take for your results and to receive the test certificate? Add a bit more time to that in case of a hold up.

Used them and was totally satisfied. Which terminal are you using -- they have 2 locations each inside T- 5 and T-2 (arrivals and departures levels) and in the forecourt of T-3.

Each site states antigen test results within 40 minutes and most people report receiving them in 20-30 minutes.

We are traveling to the UK sept 8 and returning to the US on the 18th. Can we get covid test done at the airport to return home?? We will be leaving from the Delta airline.

Thank you for any information!

For now the testing requirement is no longer in force.
But we took Abbott Binax with telehealth tests and did them from the comfort of our hotel room. We’ll take two with us when we travel in September:
