How can we go abroad without a smartphone?

-

Q

WE WISH to go to Greece, but we don’t possess smartphone­s to fill out passenger locator forms. We can’t be the only over-70s in this position. Any advice?

Elizabeth Morris, Shrewsbury.

A

IF YOU complete the Greek entry form online on a computer before you leave, you will be sent a unique QR (Quick Response) code by email — see travel.gov.gr. Print this to take on your journey out. You will need to find a computer in Greece to do the same for the UK passenger locator form. Yes, it is fiddly.

Q

WE ARE going to Denmark in September for our grandson’s first birthday. We’re both fully vaccinated, but as Denmark is on the amber list we need to follow the procedures when coming home.

However, we are flying there at 2pm on a Saturday and coming home at 9pm on the Monday — approximat­ely 55 hours in all. So can we do a lateral flow test before we fly to Denmark, and is this then valid for our return?

Carol Webb, via email.

A

YES, but it must not be an NHS lateral flow test. It will need to be conducted by a testing firm that is recognised by the Government.

Q

WE PLAN to take the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander in Spain. We are double vaccinated. What do we need to do?

Jane Mackenzie, via email.

A

BEFORE going, fill in a Spanish health control form online (spth.

gob.es) and prepare proof of your vaccinatio­ns on the NHS app. In Spain, fill out a UK passenger locator form within 48 hours of travelling home. You must also take a Covid antigen test in the three days before your return, and book a PCR test to take by day two of arrival in the UK.
