  3. Paid for tests weeks ahead but not recognized when arrived so paid again. - Ross TYLOR (24 Aug 2022 - 12:42)

    My wife and I paid for Antigen tests at the Barcelona airport weeks ahead of our trip to Europe but our flight out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on April 7th was cancelled for mechanical reasons. Air Canada # AC8503
    We did manage to re-route through Toronto and Germany so managed to get to Barcelona on April 9th rather than the eighth.
    Nonetheless, they would not recognize our previous appointments or payments so we had to pay a higher amount to get this antigen test done on April 9th. We should be re-reimbursed for the more expensive tests on the 9th but we were never for the pre-booked appointments which we were unable to attend. We required these test to board our Cruise Ship, the Viking Sky on April 9th, 2022.

  5. PCR test at Barcelona airport - Karen (23 Jun 2022 - 09:36)

    How do we receive the results of a PCR test taken at the Barcelona airport? Online it says the results are available in 12 hours - do we get the results online or do we have to return to the airport?

  6. COVID TEST TO FLY - Rod Rguez, Priscila (11 Apr 2022 - 09:10)



    If you have to take a covid test to fly and do not want to pay extra money for not having an appointment. You can go to the Test to Fly center (EUROFINS). If you are at Barcelona airport, go down to the bus stops and get on the L99 bus (they run every half hour and take 10 minutes to get to the Covid test center stop to fly). Ask the driver for the Apark&go stop (in front of Mercabarnaflor), inside and at the back of the enclosure is the Covid test center. The prices are: antigen test €25 (30 min), PCR €70 (max. 12 h) and QuickPCR €95 (max. 2 h). Its hours are from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. The results are in Spanish and English. On the opposite side of the road is the L99 stop to return to the airport. The L80 bus also brings you closer if you come from the city of Barcelona and the towns where it passes. L80 is a bus that goes from the town of Gavá to Barcelona and from Barcelona to Gavá.
    Buses L99 and L80 can take you to Test to Fly from 5am to 6pm.

  7. Test Covid para volar. - Rod, Priscila (11 Apr 2022 - 09:08)


    Si tienes que hacerte un test covid para volar y no quieres pagar dinero extra por no tener cita. Puedes ir al centro Test to Fly (EUROFINS). Si estás en el aeropuerto de Barcelona, baja a las paradas de autobuses y sube al autobús L99 (pasan cada media hora y tardan 10 minutos en llegar a la parada de la centro test Covid para volar). Pregunta al conductor por la parada del Apark&go (en frente de Mercabarnaflor), dentro y al fondo del recinto está el centro de test Covid. Los precios son: test de antígenos 25 € (30 min), PCR 70€ (máx. 12 h) y QuickPCR 95 € (máx. 2h). Su horario es de 4 a 18 h. Los resultados son en español y en inglés. En el lado opuesto a la carretera está la parada del L99 para volver al aeropuerto. El autobús L80 también te acerca si vienes desde la ciudad de Barcelona y los pueblos donde pasa. L80 es un autobús que va del pueblo de Gavá a Barcelona y de Barcelona a Gavá.
    Los autobuses L99 y L80 te pueden llevar al Test to Fly de 5 de la mañana a 6 de la tarde.

  8. @Amir - Barcelona.com (17 Jan 2022 - 09:46)

    Hello Amir,
    Indeed, the link to book your test at Barcelona airport is no longer available on their website.
    This is obviously a recent technical error on their part.
    The link was there a few days ago. Let's hope they get it right as soon as possible.

    We are not a partner of this group and cannot correct anything in this case.

    Thank you for your comment.

  9. Testing on barcelona airport - Amir (17 Jan 2022 - 09:30)

    And in addition to the comment from a few minutes ago - I just checked the link you provided for the testing in Barcelona airport, but in the link they do NOT give the option of barcelona airport, they just list 5 airports there (alicante, valencia, palma, ibiza, menorca). So I just wanted to make sure if the information here is up to date if you are sure that it is possible to do the test in barcelona airport? Becasue the link that you gave doesn't show this option..
    Would you kindly clarify?

  10. Antigen test BCN airport - Amir (17 Jan 2022 - 09:28)

    Hello and thank you for this information. A question - If my international flight leaves BCN at 19:40, when do you think would be a good time to arrive at the airport to do the antigen test? If I arrive at 17:00, will that be enough time to do the antigen test and get the results before the checkin amd boarding? Are there usually long lines waiting for the test? Or is it quickly done once you are there?
    Is an appoitment needed for an antigen test at the airport?

    Also, one other thing that wasn't very clear to me - is the testing center before security or after security? If it is after security then how do you pass security and check-in without the test results? Thank you

  11. @Jordan - Barcelona.com (13 Jan 2022 - 12:32)

    Hello Jordan,
    You have plenty of time to do your test between your arrival and departure from Barcelona airport. You can even book your appointment to waste even less time, which I advise you to do. (link on this page).
    Have a good flight,

  6. COVID TEST TO FLY - Rod Rguez, Priscila (11 Apr 2022 - 09:10)



    If you have to take a covid test to fly and do not want to pay extra money for not having an appointment. You can go to the Test to Fly center (EUROFINS). If you are at Barcelona airport, go down to the bus stops and get on the L99 bus (they run every half hour and take 10 minutes to get to the Covid test center stop to fly). Ask the driver for the Apark&go stop (in front of Mercabarnaflor), inside and at the back of the enclosure is the Covid test center. The prices are: antigen test €25 (30 min), PCR €70 (max. 12 h) and QuickPCR €95 (max. 2 h). Its hours are from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. The results are in Spanish and English. On the opposite side of the road is the L99 stop to return to the airport. The L80 bus also brings you closer if you come from the city of Barcelona and the towns where it passes. L80 is a bus that goes from the town of Gavá to Barcelona and from Barcelona to Gavá.
    Buses L99 and L80 can take you to Test to Fly from 5am to 6pm.

    Hello Amir,
    Indeed, the link to book your test at Barcelona airport is no longer available on their website.
    This is obviously a recent technical error on their part.
    The link was there a few days ago. Let's hope they get it right as soon as possible.

    We are not a partner of this group and cannot correct anything in this case.

    Thank you for your comment.

  9. Testing on barcelona airport - Amir (17 Jan 2022 - 09:30)

    And in addition to the comment from a few minutes ago - I just checked the link you provided for the testing in Barcelona airport, but in the link they do NOT give the option of barcelona airport, they just list 5 airports there (alicante, valencia, palma, ibiza, menorca). So I just wanted to make sure if the information here is up to date if you are sure that it is possible to do the test in barcelona airport? Becasue the link that you gave doesn't show this option..
    Would you kindly clarify?

  10. Antigen test BCN airport - Amir (17 Jan 2022 - 09:28)

    Hello and thank you for this information. A question - If my international flight leaves BCN at 19:40, when do you think would be a good time to arrive at the airport to do the antigen test? If I arrive at 17:00, will that be enough time to do the antigen test and get the results before the checkin amd boarding? Are there usually long lines waiting for the test? Or is it quickly done once you are there?
    Is an appoitment needed for an antigen test at the airport?

    Also, one other thing that wasn't very clear to me - is the testing center before security or after security? If it is after security then how do you pass security and check-in without the test results? Thank you

    Hi
    If checking in prior to going through security to do a test, it's normally required to show negative test results at check in prior to proceeding through security, how is it therefor possible to get to the lab through security if you need a negative result to then get to the actual lab?
