Leaving for Dande with CMS 8/27. Ethiopian Air. I need a PCR test result no later than 48 hours prior to boarding the first aircraft. I have spend hours calling and emailing and can find NO facility in the STATE of Pa. Several sites say they offer it to find that well No they don't.
Did a CVS PCR last month for SouthWest and had results in 36 hours. But no guarantees for the 48 hour window.
Any suggestions?

Scott,

I don’t have experience with this lab but this is a provider that I identified for a possible trip later this year with CMS.

https://www.frontagelab.com/covid-19-information/

Says they are 99% same-day for RT-PCR.

If you confirm, or find one in the greater Harrisburg/Lancaster area please let me know.

Thanks but at this point I'm driving to Dulles, 2 hrs, getting my test there at express check. Driving home.
Ethiopian does accept their test results, confirmed with Myles and TWG. Hard copy hand delivered in 30-60 minutes. Upload to Ethiopian. (Don't have a clue how to do that)
Leaving MDT Fri. 8:30 am. for 11 am departure to Addis.
Sounds convoluted but cheapest, safest option.
Had an email crash and ISP lost all emails. First flight departure change to 2 hours later, Ethiopian and Zim firearms and covid requirements, plane change in Lusaka all has my stress level maxed out. CMS today shows Ethiopian flight changes that I haven't heard about.
TWG and CMS have been stellar in working through this but not confident that there won't be more changes.

I just found out Lancaster General Urgent care offer the same PCR test you get at Dulles. $135. Elizabethtown Pa.
use Globalhaven.org to upload. I have not done that at this time.
Lancaster Pa airport has what they call essential air service to Dulles. $118 R/T.
Time works perfect for me. Oh yea, Southern Airways.
Flight arrives at the H gates which are directly attached to main terminal. You collect your bags plane side and the recheck through.

Leave Sept 13 for Rwanda and Tanzania
