I thought it was an antigen test ? Maybe Spain is different ? PCR costs 100+ as oppose to 20-40 for AG.
Testing before flying to Lanzarote?

Doesn't matter how much, it's not needed now.
I have no idea why this response loaded twice (I have sinced edited the second copy). Nor do I know how to delete the duplicate.

It's not really a scrap though, Ethiad don't set national entry rules but they are entitled to insist on higher ones should they so chose,

Travelling to Ireland
Information for people travelling to Ireland on their holidays.
From Thursday 6 January 2022, pre-departure testing is no longer needed when flying to ireland.
When leaving Ireland to go on a break to Spain/Canaries, a Health control form to be filled out to get fast control QR code when boarding/going to Spain/Canaries. This form is filled out online, by going into Spain travel health. Form to be completed no more than 48 hrs before arriving at your destination. Do not make an error in doing this, as it will have consequences when you get to Spanish customs. Do it correctly and no problems. That's how it stands today, make sure to keep an eye on everything as things can change very quickly.

Why don't you ask?

Some people just cannot ask a question because they see it as a sign of weakness.That was implicit in my comment
It's nice to see people asking the Askaboutmoney community questions or looking for advice or giving helpful updates about their own experiences and not just waiting in the long grass, to pounce as some do.
I know about the Spanish health control form but do you have to give the exact address of your resort in Lanzarote? Is this form similar to the Passenger Locator form?
When returning to Ireland am I right in thinking the Passenger Locator form must be filled online 48?72 hours before flying back?
You do have to fill in where you are staying, so why not be exact? On Gov.ie at the moment it says passengers travelling here must fill out a passenger locator form prior to departure to Ireland. As you know rules are changing on 1st February, so will the Gov.ie website be updated then and show that a locator form coming to Ireland won't be needed? I don't know. In any case, filling out a form if you've been vaccinated and have the booster will not be a problem I would have thought.

Thanks noproblem. I just need to ensure that I have the correct address of the hotel we'll be staying at. As you say, with constant changes in travelling requirements, perhaps the passenger locator forms will not be required by the time our return to Ireland is due.
I'm now told you only need to fill out a locator form when coming back to Ireland if you're not vaccinated. Got my digital cert today by email. All good to go now on 1st Feb, booked, paid for, and looking forward to it. Just have to hope the asre doesn't fall out of the pot now

See Leo's last post
My understanding is that at the moment is a Covid cert is only valid for nine months after your last dose
So if like me you got your shots in May 2021 your cert is only valid till end of Feb 2022
If you get a booster then you'll get a new cert that will be valid for nine months from your booster date
I should add that I wouldn't risk traveling unless I was fully vaccinated with the booster
The English family that I have previously stayed with here in Spain went home for Christmas, all four of them returned with Covid
