The antigen test was originally free. This quickly changed to 20€. The PCR test is 70€.

When you go to book there are 3 options...
Antigen test.
Antigen test for travel.
PCR test.

Yes, the €20 charge was introduced even though the site's front page still suggests that the test is free. I cannot see any difference in the pages for travellers and non-travellers.

I don't see any mention of the €20 fee nor did I find any available booking slots!

“You can get a free antigen test in Albufeira, in a facility outside the town hall.”

Did anyone else notice this has changed ? It now asks if you are travelling and the charge is 20 euros now ?

Thirten flights due into to Faro from UK today, about thirteen more than there has been this past five months!

Three from Stansted, two each from Manchester, Heathrow, Birmingham and Gatwick and one each from East Midlands and Gatwick.

Nothing like the same time last year but a step in the right direction. Let's hope the process of getting out of the airport does not attract to much attention from the Daily Wail etc.

The PCR to travel changes from 17th, but you will need a PCR when you arrive within 2 days, we found Eurofins offer PCR from £45

THis reported by BBC

Travellers will need to:

  • Take a private Covid test in their holiday destination before returning home - this can be a lateral flow or PCR test
  • Fill in a passenger locator form online before leaving their destination
  • Take a private PCR test on or before day two of their arrival in England or Scotland
