Amazing, thank you. Final question, re return to the UK, as I understand it the requirements are that you have a negative LFT in the three days before you fly back (presumably you can get this test from Cyprus, as long as it is one of the approved versions with a 'result' you can evidence - do you need to 'upload' this in any way to the UK passenger locator form?) and you must have evidence (booking number?) of a pre-ordered PCR for your day 2 test from return. Is there anything else I'm overlooking that is required to complete this form/other formalities?
Cheers!

You need to show the negative LFT results to the check in desk to get on the plane (assume same process as Spain), it doesn't need to be linked to UK locator form.
To complete the UK locator form you need the booking references for your pre-ordered PCR day 2 test.

On top of what @dubtap says, you need to be careful about what you book coming back - we had booked a video test within 3 days of return, but when we dialled in they told us it had to be within 48hrs (with no leeway) of your flight take-off time, so we rescheduled. There seemed to be quite a few places doing the tests locally in Paphos - we saw a few queues outside pharmacies - but we didn't speak to anyone about this, so don't know how easy/quick/expensive this was.
We did need to show the test results and booking form for our Day 2 test at check-in when leaving. Do get there early, with everyone having to find/show so many things on their phone, it takes ages.

Yes, you've got to upload the NHS app version. We had misunderstood that the Flightpass was necessary and did this in a panicked frenzy while waiting to take off on the runway. Fortunately, it comes to you instantly, though it is a bit fiddly. Very much recommend doing it a few days before.
