To warn you not to travel to Prague by plane on a non-EU passport

[Figmentofmyimagination]

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.

Budapest was the same.

We went to Spain in May and Italy in the summer and both were fine. A bit longer at Malaga but it was very very busy. Some places just aren’t very organised. I voted remain but I think a system that the EU introduced being subject to repeated issues and complaints is something the EU should be embarrassed about.

Are you trying to tell me what l meant??

@Meandthegherkin, totally agree the implementation has been a bit of an embrassment for the EU, but would hate to think how crap thinks would have been here in the UK if part of it. I am a public sector worker and all our systems still seem to run as if we are in the early 2000s! Same with other public agencies when I contact them (which I have to regularly) for info.

Oh christ this doesn't have much to do with brexit. Its more that the eu have adopted a system that doesn't work. No one has the balls to admit it.

Actually its bloody good reason to celebrate not being in the eu. Given that uk airports would be equally stuffed and all those non eu tourist ie yanks would be put off coming here and spending the £7 billion they do
