Horrible chaos. 2+ hour passport control queues. First a very long queue for the new machine check - eyes, finger prints etc - and then second very long queue for a manual check - why???. V hot. Incredibly stressful and unpleasant experience. No forewarning by easyJet. Never want to do that again. Apparently it will be the same when we leave. Everybody has to do it - even if you have previously supplied your finger prints etc while travelling to a different EU country.

I guess you must be very young. Everyone knows that since Brexit fucked it, travel was easier and now it isn't. We reap what we sow.

It’s not just there it’s the EU. Surely you must have read about this?

From what I've heard it's been the same in all EU tourist areas this year. So much so that Greece abandoned the system for the summer.
Hours of queues reported from the Algarve to the Canaries.

I had this in Spain- despite having already done the finger prints in France , I had to re do the whole thing - I don't understand why
