Flying to the UK for 1 day

score:0

Accepted answer

The answer from jcaron is wrong. I flew to UK and left in 1 day. The border police told me I just had to write that i'm exempt and show the plane tickets for the next flight to prove I am indeed going to leave. You don't have to book a test if you're in the UK for 1 day.

Yes, you need to:

  • get tested before departure
  • book and pay for the tests for days 2 and 8, even if you leave after a day
  • self isolate during your stay

You can however leave before the 10 days are over.

All the details are available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-quarantine-when-you-arrive-in-england

Note that those are the rules for England. They are different in the other countries of the UK.

Note that they can fine you directly at the border when you arrive if you haven’t booked and paid for your tests. I suppose you could also be prevented from boarding your first flight, though I don’t know if airlines check that.
