Oh right! I thought it said somewhere 4 -6 hours to go to the lab .... Right so planning on booking flights today so once they are booked can order the tests for saturday - was hoping to hear back from the embassy to confirm a monday appointment first but haven't heard back yet ...
Really appreciate your help Ben1989!!
PCR's go the lab, rapid antigen do not. Rapid antigen are easier, quicker and cheaper. I would order the tests the NHS provide free of charge to get used to taking them. They're identical https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests.

It says you can't order any more today - hopefully tests aren't in short supply!

Never seen that before. Local testing sites usually have a whole bunch or local libraries and pharmacies. The latter 2 are safer, I guess. Or, try again tomorrow. They usually deliver next day which is pretty darn good!

Hi, just about to book with Qured, they don’t seem to know if it is the £75 or the £39 got to fly test to the USA - it says the £39 is an antigen test so is this ok? They also said a child under 10 doesn’t need the test but on this thread it says age 2 years and above do need one. Please can you help?

It's the £39 one. It's 'fit to fly US'.
Do not listen to them. Your 10 year old DOES need a test. Anybody over 2 years old must take one. America accept antigen tests so yes your assumption is correct. Sorry for the late reply.

Direct from the CDC website:

Does this requirement apply to US citizens?
This Order applies to all air passengers, 2 years of age or older, traveling into the US, including US citizens and legal permanent residents.
