The only cost you should have is the non-collected from East Kilbride £1.99 day 2 test that helps you fill your return to UK PLF.
My day has been Uk, France, Belgium, Holland, Belgium dealing with work and far less of a challenge than Burnley away.

Went to Spain in the summer and both my girlfriend and I did the day 2 tests (which had to be PCR at the time, and fucking expensive). No one ever contacted us to find out the results and I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the admin manpower to be checking individually that they were negative.
Before that in the ten day quarantine time my girlfriend also went back and her day 5 test result came back after her day 8 was due and that came back after the whole thing was over - at which point someone from test and trace phoned her to remind her to isolate until the result. No chance. Since then I know people both in PCR and LFT times who have travelled back and not even done the tests and heard nothing from anybody.
The whole thing is just designed to check that you’ve purchased a test, which you have to submit the code for to finish the UK passenger locator form. No one actually gives a shit what the result is or even if you do the test at all.
Oh and a week and a half after flying back, we both got texts and emails saying we were a ‘close contact’ of someone positive. When we didn’t complete the relevant online form within an hour, we got multiple further texts and emails basically making us out to be an irresponsible menace to the fabric of society - she was asleep after a night shift, and we were both double vaccinated so didn’t need to isolate anyway, plus even if we did the ten days were up. And it could only have been the flight (with no one sitting next to us, and everyone wearing masks the whole time) which is an experience many others who had flown over the same period had. Tell you what - if you think we’re spreading the plague, maybe tell us in time eh?
I filled in the form in the end just because I was sick of the hassle, and at the end they had one of those surveys. I rated everything as low as possible and added extra comments saying how the contact bordered on harassment. Did I ever hear back? Did I bugger.
COVID is real, and bad - but the response has been a fiasco, and I don’t blame anyone for having doubts based on what they’ve seen. As ever it just gets turned into a money making scheme for the government’s pals.

“Also have to pay for a day 2 test, and you can't board without it”
You can’t fill in the PLF without it, but it’s a piece of piss. Just buy the cheapest one and get the code. And yes you can get DIY ones, I did one last week after getting back from hols

I've just flown to the UK from the US.
The UK requires (from here) vaccination certificates plus passenger locator form. The PLF is fucking annoying, goes on forever and asks stupid questions. Also have to pay for a day 2 test, and you can't board without it. Mine turned up after we'd gone back to he airport. No trace by UK.
Could be worse.
Can you buy DIY C-19 tests? I can here, for $25 and it works very well.

That is correct for people going under 48 hours. You also need to fill in the belgian passenger locator form here...

Can some one clarify whether you need to do a test before going out there?
I understood a test wasn’t required if double jabbed and spending less than 36. Hours in the country

Bit of info posted by backhouse21 on KUMB...
I just got a reply from the embassy after emailing them. The info on the UK Government site is apparently not up to date. Basically, no test needed before I leave, but I need to do an Antigen test when I land at the airport and wait 30mins for the result. Not bad.

MATE who I was gonna go Belgium with next week has had a nightmare as he's only getting his 2nd jab today and you need to have it done at least 14 days in advance.

Gov website says if staying over 48hrs need pcr test then no test in belgium or quarantine followed by 2 day test when back in uk.
Also have to fill in passenger locator form
