Anyone knows if Walgreens does testing for tourists? On the website I could only find info for locals and calling I couldn't find a way to talk to a human being.
Any place that does testing here will do testing for tourists. The only difference is what they will charge you. I called seven different places, including CVS, Walgreens, Advent Health, Orlando Health and a few others. All gave the same question and answer when I asked for the cost.
Are you a US Citizen?
Yes, but it's not for me - the patients are non citizen tourists.
Answer at each place: out of pocket for USC ranged between $25- $29. For visitors, it ranged between $139 per person (which we took) and $209.
My recommendation now that this is known, if you can plan ahead you can get it cheaper so do some homework. watch the threads and schedule in advance. The issue we had is that my parents were affected by the change within a few days of departure so the place that offered cheaper options was full booked. If you get in early, you CAN get a better price. For us, we just didn't have the time to play with and the distress it was causing my elderly parents was not worth it so we took them on Tuesday night and got it done.
Also, I hope things will ease up as this is now a known requirement, but nobody was able to check in online for the outbound flight due to the paperwork that has to be checked. Hopefully in the upcoming days/weeks things will be set up so that more verification can be submitted online. When we took my parents to MCO this afternoon we showed up four hours ahead of the flight. The check in desk was already open and there was a significantly long line. The airport itself was not busy, but lines for all airlines seemed substantial. Things will probably settle a little as they have time to implement the appropriate systems etc, but if you are flying out this week it won't hurt to arrive early.
I noticed the flight was delayed by over an hour. No way to connect with my folks until they get to the UK (tech and all that stuff ain't their thing) but we suspect that all the additional checks made checkin a longer than usual process for the staff. When I get more info in the morning I'll be able to update you if there is anything else that may help.
