Rapid or regular...both are PCR and ok for Canada. Because we were overnighting in Barcelona, we took the regular one -- 6 hours later we had an email showing negative :). The regular one is cheaper, I think we paid about $70 each.
We flew from Santiago to Barcelona last week...one hour after landing in Barcelona, we had pre-booked our PCR test in the airport at "Eurofins" (check their website); I believe there is one at Santiago also. Or, prebook something inside Paris airport. The rapid PCR test is ready in an hour or...
Yes, flying back to Canada next day from Barcelona and I already have a PCR rapid test booked...I'm OK to get back to Canada. I was just concerned about boarding the Vueling airlines flight from Santiago to Spain the day before; wondering if they need anything other than passport.
As a Canadian about to fly domestically within Spain (Santiago to Barcelona), do I need to show any proof of vacination, testings or QR codes, or anything??
I could not fly from Paris to Biarritz day before yesterday without the QR code...and in Biarriz, we enterred at least 10 cafes...each one demaned and scanned the QR code; as did our hotel in Biarritz and St Jean de Luz last night. We have now walked into Spain and are in Irun...no issue walking...
I applied on Aug 10 and got it next day. Others seem to be saying it takes longer, we were lucky. And you really need it in France. Tomorrow, we walk into Spain.
We are in Biarritz now ... last night the restaurants were full.... thousands out in the cafes....no masks; but we were asked for the QR code in each place, so presumably everyone was vaccinated.
I got about 18 hours later...I'm sure you will get today. It comes in a pdf which you can just print out OR it scans nicely into their ToutAntiCovid app.
Our travels are similar..we fly and arrive to Paris from Canada on Aug 13 but fly down to Biarritz same day. Start walking from there (Camino Norte). We did apply a few hours ago for the QR code but also booked covid test inside Charles De Gaulle between flights. You can book it online easily...
Good news as per above link. As a Canadian, I have now sent in proper documents and await my QR code. Tip: the email to send to is different than the one a few days ago for French nationals abroad. And pay attention to the details...the subject line must be just right and not bigger than 10 megs...
