If airlines started accepting the NHS ones then everyone would use them meaning the taxpayers pay for it rather than the traveler. I guess thats why the governemnt dont want them to accept it.
I’m not sure where I stand on it tbh. I sort of get hte logic of the government if dont want people going on holiday effectively getting tax payers to pay for their test when going on holiday because right now, its a bit of a luxury. But then again, the government are making a test a requirement of entry to this country so i see the argument they should pay for it
