Hello, I am flying LAX > O'Hare, and then from there I will be catching an international flight to the Philippines. Before I can board my flight from LAX > Philippines I need to take a covid rapid antigen test. Is there a place to get this test at LAX? And is an appointment necessary? Thanks.

Would it not be safer timewise to do the testing in your city/town rather than risking it at LAX?

Yea that's a good idea. Only thing is I need to make sure I get the test within 24 hours before my flight to the Philippines, and that flight leaves at night. I'll see what I can do.

I think you can buy antigen tests that you can take at home. You need to scan de QR code, that connects you to a live person that will walk you through. Resuls in 15’-30’

These are great for returning to the US, but some countries are kinda picky about the rapid tests. You are thinking of the Abbott observed rapid test, and they work great and are easy for entry to the US. If the Philippines accepts those, you can get a 3 pack for like 99 bucks and take it wherever you have a WiFi connection. Usually the test has to be taken within 24 hours of you beginning the first leg of your Journey. I have entered countries that required 24 hour testing before entry, and I didn't get there until 36 hours of flying with delays and layovers, and they still accepted it. and it was done 24 hours before I boarded the first flight of the journey.

Here on a K1? Need married and a Certificate in hand within a few hours? I'm here to help. Come to Vegas and I'll marry you Vegas style!!   Visa Journey members are always FREE for my services. I know the costs involved in this whole game of immigration, and if I can save you some money I will!

Philippines requires a laboratory-based or clinic-based Antigen test, so I'm assuming the take home kits won't be an option then?

Probably not then. I am 99 percent sure as long as you do it 24hours before your first flight, you should be good. By the time I got to my destination my test was over 2 days old if you count crossing the date line in flight, and they still let me in.
