You have to do the Spanish locator form before you leave the UK and a UK government one before you leave Spain |

The airlines are generally quite good at informing customers what paperwork they need to fly. Make a booking and they talk you through the requirements of the country you are visiting. The airlines can be fined if they get it wrong and carry you without the correct documentation. |

Definitely needed to do the Spain one as that was inspected on arrival in LPA last week. UK one said it needed doing 48 hrs or less than leaving date on the uk gov website but unlike last October this wasn’t never looked at in LPA nor back in Blighty, probably as Boris had relaxed the rules again. Just have it on your iPad or phone as an email in case. |

A week or so ago I couldn't get the UK one to work fully when coming back, couldn't upload my vaccine status. Nobody checked or asked at all, so don't worry too much. £35 billion of taxpayers money seems to have been rather wasted. |

They checked ours in February.. if you cant upload vaccine status it is not a problem you still get uk return form done without it .. you cant check in your return flight if you dont have uk return form done.. it might soon all change back to normal .  |

Thank you all , when I checked in on line , it says to start pre filling in the form , when I click on the link , it’s about coming back to the uk not leaving the uk for Gran Canaria that’s what’s confusing me |

Checked in for homeward flight before even leaving UK without issue (and well before starting the UK located form which this last time was a total waste of time!). Do the Spain one as not to do so could ruin your holiday, but as for coming home, worry somewhat less! |

You either fill it in before you arrive at the airport to fly home or yiu fill it in after you try unsuccessfully to check in or you don't get on the flight, very simple.
And yes we've been 3 times since last September,most recently there weeks ago so we do know how it works and have seen people sent to the naughty step |
