I flew back to Canada end July. Getting PCR test with results in 72 hrs was biggest challenge. Wound up having to go to Orlando airport to get test at $175 two days before travelling from there. Place is a madhouse and it is imperative that you book an appointment, on line, ahead of time; they say walk-ins but if you get there at 7 AM you will still be waiting at 5 PM, if not turned away. Even with appointment be prepared to wait; my children it was 3 hour wait with appt; I did better with an hour. Husband just booked his; made sure he got 0730 - first in the morning to minimize delay,
