In the UK, TUI is offering all customers subsidised testing packages to make travel easy and affordable for holidaymakers this summer. TUI has partnered with Chronomics, who are government authorised providers and is offering customers packages from just £20 per person for Green list destinations with delivery and return costs for the tests included in the price.
Customers can now order tests on a newly created Chronomics and TUI booking hub an hour after booking their holiday and will input their booking reference, departure date and country of travel to enter the site.
TUI has taken the step to ensure inbound and outbound testing is simple and affordable for customers travelling to countries on the green and amber list, so travel restrictions and testing do not deter families and couples from travelling. TUI’s research has shown that customers are looking forward to their much-needed holiday overseas, but affordable and easy testing solutions are imperative.
Four new exclusive testing packages have been developed and are offered at greatly reduced prices, include certification to travel and will be a simple process from start to finish. If testing requirements change between purchase and travel, for example if an amber package is purchased and the destination moves onto the green list, TUI will simply refund the difference.
The four packages created include:
- Green @ £20 per person containing 1 x pre-departure Lateral Flow Test and 1x inbound PCR test for day two
- Green+ @ £60 per person containing 1 x outbound PCR test with courier costs 7 days a week included, 1 x pre-departure Lateral Flow Test and 1 x inbound PCR test for day two
- Amber @ £50 per person containing 1 x pre-departure Lateral Flow Test and 2 x inbound PCR tests for day two and day 8
- Amber+ @ £90 per person containing 1 x outbound PCR test with courier costs 7 days a week included, 1 x pre-departure Lateral Flow Test and 2 x inbound PCR tests for day two 2 and day 8
Pre-departure lateral flow tests will include test verification and certification to fly back to the UK. As well as the inbound testing packages required by UK regulations, customers can also select kits that include an additional outbound PCR test should that be a requirement of the destination they are travelling to.
So customers have complete peace of mind, TUI UK is also including free Covid-19 Cover protection for all package holiday customers travelling from 17th May to 31st August and allowing free amends up to 14 days before departure.
