Heathrow: British Airways, Etihad, Emirates and Virgin Atlantic Covid test prices compared

International travel is set to get even more hectic thanks to Covid-19 testing.

Heading abroad for a summer holiday was never easy even before Covid, but once we're allowed to jet off into the sunshine again we'll need to ensure we've had our tests.

Most countries such as Greece, Portugal and Croatia require proof of a negative PCR test and the tests don't come cheap.

Of course we can't travel yet but as soon as Prime Minister Boris Johnson allows for holidays, you'll need to know how much you're going to need to fork out for the tests.

Prices for the test can start from £120 from some companies - which could prove hefty when you factor in other family members and friends.
